This context pointer has been deprecated since the rename to _context_static more than three and a half years ago (see PR #1126, commit 53796d2b24e813750feae73e85c0a6eee40dc391), for the first official release 0.2.0. Removing it should be fine by now.

Same as for #1776, there is no urgency for this change, so it can wait until there are more reasons for a breaking release.
