He's forced to have ORBService in Installed state, which is something he might not want since he's fine with just Start. The demand notion is not the right place for this, since demand/supply concept handles things beyond contexts handled by MC - a generic match mechanism. And as such some items we demand might not have dependent state. Should we create new context-demand notion?
