Even if I think that the imposition schemas are a wonderful ConTeXt
feature, I don't believe that helps (actually, I'm pretty sure it
doesn't) repeating that you need the now-broken feature.

Anyway, for simple 2UP scheme, if you need it badly and urgently, you
may want to try pdfjam (which uses LaTeX under the hood, I used it for a
while) or the psutils, with a pdf -> ps -> pdf trip (psbook), (both are
shipped with ConTeXt, I used them for a while and were really fine) or
even write your own imposer which uses ConTeXt under the hood. I wrote
and rewrote mine a couple of times (because I need a dinamically
determinated signature) and it's not that difficult. [1]
