i think this is a bug.

system          : module HorizontalStripes loaded
(/home/mbana/context.beta/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/third/simple-slides/simpleslides-s-HorizontalStripes.tex
simpleslides    : loading HorizontalStripes style


simpeslides is fetched when the minimals is downloaded

first-setup.sh;

...
mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force
--engine=all --context=beta --texroot=$PWD/tex
--extras="*t-simplesides*,t-tikz"
$@
