demand was originally part of a pair with supply that let you do a sort simple aliasing. Since the supplys where only known at "Installed", the target state was irrelevant. As it happens, you can use demand to reference other things besides supplys and they could have other states. So you could add it, but it wouldn't work for supplys.
