Some of us power-users are mouse and GUI aficionados. ;) Eg. I use this FF add-on, to remove unwanted elements from the context menu, and place my 3 custom searches at the top: http://menueditor.mozdev.org/ Like so: http://i.imgur.com/r49wiez.png
That said, I would be annoyed if a site started changing my context menu, without asking. This sort of adjustment would be well-suited to a Gadget or Preference, but not as a site-default. (Which I suspect is what Max intended, when he submitted the image/idea to the mailing list. :)

I would say that more technical people are even less likely to right click on a web page. They don't expect the context menu to provide options particular to the site out of experience and have developed shortcut key habits and simply have no need for the menu.
