Hi Hans,

I just tried this with a fairly new ConTeXt:

  \starttext
  \message{pdfannot: [\meaning \pdfannot] pdflastannot: [\meaning \pdflastannot]
  \stoptext 

reports

   pdfannot: [\relax] pdflastannot: [\count1160]

which is not really useful. It actually hit me inside a file that was actually 
using \pdfannot to do some fancy stuff, which was working fine a few years 
back. 
(I know it is now called "\pdfextension annot", that is not actually the 
problem)

If you do no longer want to support the primitives in ConTeXt, sure. But could 
you at least produce a message and/or error ? In particular,  the

  \let \pdfannot \relax

creates mayhem inside the produced PDF, because of all the associated keywords
in the primitive \pdfannot implementation that are now suddenly being typeset 
as-is,
which is rather messy.

Best wishes,
Taco
