There are two different things:
- scripts devoted to the minimals (which is what I have updated now)
- ConTeXt itself
The reason for broken distribution has mostly been broken ConTeXt
which is Hans's resposibility (and would be broken on any other
distribution). But one of the most important features is the
possibility to use "--context=YYYY.MM.DD" to take you back in time if
your distribution is broken.

There is no problem to make one, but the most important question: Who
is going/willing to send me the binaries for the almost-latest XeTeX,
metapost, LuaTeX and pdfTeX? If anyone is willing to take that over
(send me binaries for the beginning) and to test it, I will add
another architecture to the scripts.

dvips ... might be supported, I don't know.
Is dvipdfm needed?
