Thanks for changing things that way between one and the other. I am

well, no one forces you to update betas

also, as long as we're in transition to mkiv you can expect an occasional
hickup, after all, i have only a few machines to test

It's better to have someone could give you a hand.
In the long term, something like "Release Team" would be a must for
ConTeXt development. With this team, we can do some "Unit testing" for
each release in order to minimize problem.

to some extend this is what the beta is for ... because mkiv is a moving target it sort of replaces the current, but if i can imagine that users wait a few days with updating till there are no problems reported

concerning testing ... there is a slowly growing test suite, and i guess that at some point Luigi will run it alongside his module documentation runs .. you can offer him help with that (sanjoy also has made some test setup)

in this particular case (adaption of mtxrun) testing is somewhat problematic as we need a test-minimal alongside the regular one and that might happen when mojca has set up the new machine
