I've written a basic context reaction that allows users to switch the home page url (site_frontpage) based on conditions. I think it would be better for this to go into the context extra's module as opposed to creating a new module with just a simple reaction. Let me know what you think.

Sweet, thanks chris! :)

I think it's probably safe to mark this as fixed.

For a site I was building I needed a context on available on pages that weren't of a specific taxonomy term.
This plugin is very similar in theory to cep_negate_path, and it's working beautifully on my site.

A review of the code and possible inclusion in the module would be great.

I think this doesn't work as well as I'd like, it seems to hate the node/% panels page.
It really should just return true for non-nodes, and be called by hook_nodeapi(), but I don't know how to do that. Also, panels prevents hook_nodeapi() from ever getting to the 'view' $op.
I'm stuck!

Another plugin solved my use case for the short term: #813954: Path exclusion and active context condition
That one is very useful.

I think using #813954: Path exclusion and active context condition is a better approach.
