nothing fundamental has changed in that department (nor will change 
drastically unless there is a good reason for it) .. if things don't 
work as expected i'll fix it of course

let me stress that, although there are changes (or pending ones) onder 
the hood, most components of context will just stay as they are (why 
reinvent wheels that turn smoothly)

for instance, font related code is also supposed to work with plain 
which in turn means work with luatex ... the same is true for file 
handling, process management etc ...

lmtx is supposed to be a drop in that context knows how to deal with, 
but with a whole lot of benefits (like running a bit better on Alan's 
refrigerator ... in fact, my thermostat/heating system really does run 
on luatex as does other domotica stuff)

(believe it or not but i occasionally do test lmtx in a small setup 
because computers don't get faster, virtualization has smaller setups, 
energy consumption matters, etc. ... hobyism of course)

one can alway swonder if we keep some ideas in our sleeves .. after all, 
there need to be progress occasionally ...
