Immutable, and first level seems reasonable.  The title is debatable, since 
'available' has multiple meanings, and the software is not available to the 
person who wants to use it when they click on the menu... its acquirable, its 
not yet installed, its offered, but not yet available.  If something like 
'Repository Software' was used, that would be clear (but not very 'sophisticated').
