Uninstalling Context module, deletes blocks configuration

Problem/Motivation

I didnt need the context module and wanted to uninstall it. Initially i uninstalled Context UI with no problems.

Then when i tried to uninstall the CONTEXT module, it said that all the following blocks will be deleted (or the configuration for the blocks)

Steps to reproduce

In a demo site, with custom blocks, do the following:
1. uninstall context ui
2. uninstall context

When i did this i was prompted with the following:

If you continue, you end up with your site not showing any of the blocks you had configured in the blocks overview page, besides the standard drupal ones.

I was able to restore a backup, prior to uninstalling the context module but the blocks still were not showing in the blocks layout page. i had to guess the /admin/.... link to configure them and hit save so that they would reappear

  • Was this resolved?
    How do we uninstall this module w/o messing up the blocks?
    I am not sure if I am suppose to fix something else for Context's condition plugins?
