I fixed texmf.cnf (sorry, I fell asleep yesterday), but I cannot do
anything about mkiv bugs before we start supporting falling back to
arbitrary ConTeXt version.

What about the following possibility? We could set up some repository
(whatever - svn/git/anything) with all the versions, including all
experimental and beta versions. Those users that would need it could
place a copy into texmf-local and switch between ConTeXt versions
arbitrary. A script on server could commit versions to that
repository.

I have a feeling that somebody on the list already has such a
repository, but even if we start from scratch that should be OK. I
could have start storing all the experimental versions, full-blown, on
the server, but that would be a killing consumer of space, most
probably adding some 100MB on the server every day. (Another option to
explore is Hans' proposal which probably needs some tools on user
side.)
