Thanks. Please let us know if this addition of location=none will be taken up in a future beta.

I also realised that the effect wanted can be obtained by dividing the single
  \noheaderandfooterlines
into two additional macros
\noheaderlines and \nofooterlines
Is that a viable idea too?

My goal is pages without header info at the top and text plus a pagenumber on the bottom. This can be accomplished by:
\setupheader[state=stop]
\setupfooter[text][before=\hairline,style=small,location=left,strut=yes]
\setupfootertexts[some text][pagenumber]

I want the first page without that footer, to be done with:
\noheaderandfooterlines

But then comes the problem, because afterwards the default takes over and on the subsequent pages the pagenumber starts to appear in the header (the default setting apparently). Thus the \noheaderandfooterlines annuls the \setupheader[state=stop]

I did not find out how to get rid of the default pagenumber. 
\setuppagenumber[state=stop] kills all pagenumbering, the programmed one in the leftbottom corner too.
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop] kills all pagenumbers, included the one I want to appear.
\setuppagenumbering[location=none] merely puts the pagenumber in the middle of the footer, obviously location=none has no meaning in ConTeXt.

So, I am at the end of the possibilities I can think of. How to?

Context performs only a check for a empty argument of the location key
(i.e. \setuppagenumbering[location=]) and in all other keys checks the argument
for a valid keyword, all unknown keywords are ignored. The ignored  “none” keyword
can be added by a simple change in the file page-txt.mkvi and I think such a change
would make sense because there are many places “none” is used when you disable
a function.

\unexpanded\def\strc_pagenumbers_set_location
 {\edef\p_strc_pagenumbers_location{\directpagenumberingparameter\c!location}%
  \ifx\p_strc_pagenumbers_location\m_page_layouts_page_number_location
     % unchanged
  \else
    \let\m_page_layouts_page_number_location\p_strc_pagenumbers_location
    \page_layouts_reset_page_number_location
    \ifx\p_strc_pagenumbers_location\empty
      % set otherwise
-    \else
+    \else\ifx\p_strc_pagenumbers_location\v!none
+      % set otherwise
+    \else
      \page_layouts_identify_page_number_location
      \page_layouts_set_page_number_location
-    \fi
+    \fi\fi
  \fi}
