  * If <<<(offline == false) && (requiresOnline == true)>>>, bind
    the mojo to the lifecycle.

    In this case, the client is <<online>>, and the mojo either requires
    <<online>> status, or else doesn't care.

  * Otherwise, don't bind the mojo. Log a debug message to indicate that it is
    sensitive the online state of the application, and that this state is
