I think the former is wrong, this should be have a "SP3" in it, I guess. All packages will surely be compiled anew for every service pack?
Absolutely not - SLE does not rebuild anything unnecessarily. If things are unchanged between a service pack and earlier packs/GA, then the original binaries are used. It's very conservative in that regards, but of course that's the whole point of a conservative, enterprise grade codebase.
OK, interesting. I guessed that having either a new glibc or a new compiler would be reason to compile anew, but letting things unchanged is a conservative approach indeed.
