Hans, can ctxtools be modified to give the option of downloading both the stable and latest branch? --updatecontext gives the beta which, being a beta, has occasional bugs. So this method of updating context can not be recommended to new users. How about adding ctxtools --updatecontext --stable to give the stable branch, or instead make fetching the stable branch default and give --beta to download the beta. Maybe even extract everything with --beta to TEXMFBETA folder so that maintaining beta and stable in parallel is seamless. Right now there is texexec --beta for running the beta, but then you have to maintain the beta tree manually.
