Isn't that the job of the deployers (ex: BeanMetadataDeployer) to install (which internally will move it to various states) the specific context(s)?

Shouldn't an implicit dependency be turned (by some piece of code) into an explicit dependency? For #1, the other bean is actually depending on the "some bean" for the static flag, so shouldn't this dependency be created explicitly? Same holds for #2

Looking at what resolveContexts does:
1) Get "all" possible From and To states
2) Try to resolve "all" contexts for each of these From state to To state
3) #2 internally involves resolving dependencies of each of these contexts
4) Install any resolved contexts

Isn't this expensive (correct me if i am wrong) and is being done for every context being installed.
