To me, as a TeXlive and teTeX guy, it seems preferrable to choose option 1 and fix the existing distribution scripts. However, I don't know yet what else is needed when ConTeXt is updated, therefore I might be wrong, and switching to texexec might actually be better. But then this should be done consistently, and fmtutil should drop context handling completely (or just call texexec).
I am very much in favor of using texexec for everything related to ConTeXt.
Can you point me to the place where it is documented which calls are needed to be called - when ConTeXt is updated - when any of the engines is updated? I don't use ConTeXt myself, and I always have problems finding the relevant places in the documentation, sorry...
