That was the idea, but there are two problems:
- there is no easy way to fix problems in current (and more important:
nobody does it/would do it)
- the whole distribution should be frozen, not just context files (if
modules or binaries or fonts get updated, there may be discrepancies)

I plan to fix that, but that has been on my schedule for over a year already.
