-A research, development, or internal (RDI) component  does not meet the requirements for an available or preview component. An RDI system is a system containing one or more RDI components. RDI hardware components may not be submitted as _Available_ components  until the submission cycle after next or 221 days whichever is longer.

-RDI systems using only Available hardware must use a _Reproducible_ software stack, accompanied by instructions which would allow a reasonable expert user to download and install it on a hardware system similar to the submission system. A software stack is _Reproducible_ if all components that substantially determine performance are either _Available_ or _Reproducible_. A binary component is _Reproducible_ if it is downloadable by anyone to whom the hardware is Available, from a URL which must remain valid until a release of the software is Available.
