of course it would be great to have a working ConTeXt in texlive, however ConTeXt itself is an insanely fast moving target, on the verge of a big internal shift (pdftex -> luatex) and as such texlive with it's annual release model has no chance but to include what is by ConTeXt standards an ancient version. ConTeXt is a pure TeX macro package and it does not need any of texlive's 'overhead', so i have been working on and off (more off) on a seperate standalone ConTeXt openbsd package since 2006 :] as there is no peer/user pressure, obviously the results are what they are: i am a happy context user on my own box and went with the path of least resistance. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/OpenBSD_installation -f -- many would be cowards if they had enough courage.
