hm, you can install context alongside texlive and just change the path
as everything else is picked up from that (also a lightweight context
distribution is normally faster than context in texlive)
(till now we only update context in telive once per year and i don't
know if mojca pushes the latest context in there for the updating; till
now often it went in sync with a luatex update)
