[tldistro] How are distros handling the ConTeXt change?

[Ken Brown]

I asked this question on the tex-live list, but Karl suggested it 
belongs here instead.  Now that the context command is a symlink to 
luametatex, and the latter is not built as part of TeX Live, I'm 
wondering what distro maintainers are going to do.  For those who 
haven't been following the discussion of this on the tex-live list, 
luametatex can be built from the sources at 
https://github.com/contextgarden/luametatex/.

My inclination as Cygwin's TeX Live maintainer is to create a new 
package, perhaps called luametatex or simply lmtx, that provides the 
luametatex binary.  The texlive package(s) could then be responsible for 
providing the required symlinks and other supporting files.  This is 
similar to what I do for biber.

What do others think?
