Yes, just like the change to pdftex 1.40 in 2007.01.12 was absolute.
I don't agree. I could process several medium complicated test cases I have collected over the time with pdfetex 1.30.5 from TL2005 (debian packages) with my context packages for 2007.01.12.
The only point was that is was necessary to add the pdfetex -> pdftex symlink, otherwise everything worked without problem.
So I *don't see that this was an *absolute* move.
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 remove pre 1.40 support
But doesn't TL2007 *inlcude* the lm-math fonts???? Please reconsider this!
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
We are discussing this with Florent ...
