Sorry, Seann, my intention was to share a way to avoid potential issues
with files (not these particular ones) being overwritten or erased by an
update.

Many thanks for the tip, Hraban. I didn’t know that `$HOMETEXMF` was
directly searched instead of being indexed.
Seann, I have more than one ConTeXt distributions on my OS (mainly older
versions). Having files such as the ones you mentioned in that directory
makes easier to have them in a single location.
