Does my Revolution component need a context?

Ok, I’m convinced that my CAPTCHA component needs a namespace but how about a context?

It only operates on manager login and has no actions, menus, or custom manager pages.

All it does is

1. Display a captcha image and response field on the login page and set the captcha $_SESSION variable when OnManagerLoginFormPrerender fires.

2. Check the $SESSION variable against the user’s input when OnBeforeManagerLogin fires.

So, does it need a context of its own and, if so, what would I do with that context?

1. it needs to be usable when logging into any context, not just OnManager (which covers the mgr and connector contexts), but OnWeb should cover other contexts
2. is fine

It does not need a context, but login is always targeting a specific context (or set of contexts).
