ah, ok, so that luatex update even broke the context updater (i didn't
realize that luatex would quit on an unknown option instead of just
ignoring it)

indeed is what happens in this case :  luatex emits  a message
and continues (as the email says:  "...context seems to compile just fine.")

--socket is a new option for luatex 1.17.0, where sockets are disabled by default .
