... depending on a suitable definition of 'ok'. But what I wanted to
say is that I have the feeling that I am losing more and more control
of the settings.

hm, you can just set anything you want; the only thing context wants is an engine subpath which is needed because the efmt ofmt fmt etc suffixes were replaced in web2c by one suffix; otherwise you can not run for instance pdfetex and aleph alongside unless using different names for formats which is even more fuzzy and tricky to maintain. I wonder apart from engine, what 'other' controls you think to loose ... since nothing really changed
