1 \usemodule[s-pre-05]
crashed for s-pre-05 and most of the other s-pre-XX modules indicates that such crashes have nothing to do with the decision to load modules from other users. The s-pre-XX modules are part of the standalone ConTeXt installation, my installation was fine, but a recent update of some mkiv component was not compatible with luatex.
Most of those presentation styles were used at tex user group meetings and in those cases I often use new (or experimental) functionality, i.e. hooking in extentions and such; in the transition from mkii to mkiv some of the hacks needed in traditional tex are gone but then I need to check all those styles too and I don't use them that often.
So what to do next? Load an earlier ConText version? Wait until this problem is fixed? If the mkiv <-> luatex interaction is the reason for this problem, the problems might not be restricted to some s-pre-XX modules (that are unchanged since about two years...) ?
The benefits of mkiv over mkii compensate the occasional issue. Also, issues are often fixed quite fast and as we have a perfect update structure running on the garden problems never stay long. I (and probably others) use mkiv in (often unattended) production runs so it's on the average pretty useable. I haven't used mkii for years.
