indeed, as long as one is able to sort out the binaries, context will
work ok; at the macro level all versions of pdftex are supported,
although ... once pdftex 1.40 is out for some period it makes sense to

it does contain those fonts; the problem is that latex does to default
to lm and if hartmut hadn't tested it, the related latex font packages
would have been broken; the whole idea behind lm is that eventually crm,
aer, plr, csr, vnr can go; just as with gyre fonts, the many variant can
go ... less files, less problems
