We had this slightly change with headline numbering. Default in our
reports is arabic numbers but in one report we need a mix of capital
letters and numbers (A, A.1, A.2, B, B.1 etc.) I simply made two small
style files for numbering.

My main concern now is to deploy ConTeXt to multiple users. If some
would go with Texlive distributions from debian stable and some with lmtx distribution there would be a mess sooner or later. So I decided that we all go with the lmtx distribution and clone our git repos for images and styles into texmf-project. I also have something in texmf-local, namely icc files and the module statistical-charts. I don't know how to decide what goes to project and what to local.

Good question. \startstopparagraph was more explicit
I think. But now that you ask I think, that with startstopfoo we might
succeed with one lua filter for a lot more context constructs such as
makeups etc.
