The binaries at PRAGMA haven't been updated since August, and you can
only update ConTeXt using "download, unzip" approach, which makes you
download the whole zip (independent of how much has changed), and
doesn't update binaries. With minimals on the garden, only a single
file will be updated in case that a single file has changed (rsync
rules!!!).
Minimals might have some files (fonts, binaries) missing (but feel
free to request them) + standalone environment missing as well.
