Support for createContext

[bignose-debian]

The React 16.3 API now has a way to add “context”, the createContext function:

Context provides a way to pass data through the component tree without having to pass props down manually at every level.

Please implement this same behaviour and API in Preact.

There is a PR #963 to track this.

Great, thank you. So should we leave this issue open, until the feature is implemented in a release?

I don't see leave this issue open any good. The PR has all the implementation info(which you can review as well) and discussions, also Jason said currently Preact prefer context as a dedicated module. Also one wonderful contributor already published a module. Keeping this issue open would only cause distraction.
