just use the minimals ... then you have the latest binaries and sources
Is there any advantage (for ConTeXt) of using the Texlive (other than being multi-platform!) or other full xTeX distribution?
Yes. If you use _both_ ConTeXt and LaTeX (and some of us - including me - are kind of forced to use LaTeX, too, because of: * having a number of old LaTeX files which wuold be a trouble to convert; * sending papers to journals accepting LaTeX; * writing LaTeX stuff to order) Personally I'd find it inconvenient to have two TeX trees and having to change my environment to use one or another. (Possibly, I could arrange it so that I don't have to change any environment variables, but still, since I don't need the state-of-the-art MkIV, texlive is ok for me.)
If the "minimal ConTeXt" is the only standard way of using a full ConTeXt, then it could be rename "maximal" ;-) or more seriously something lire "standard", "hot" or "independant" (longish)
Well, it is "minimal" in the sense of dependencies, I guess.
