Description

looking at https://www.suse.com/products/server/ it's apparent that SuSE has now publicly announced SLES11 SP3.

Need to carefully schedule the cutover from one version to another. Maybe we need to stage using SP3 instead of SP2 somewhere before using it everywhere?

Need to make decisions about sticking to the policy of supporting only one version of any distro. It's possible to have base and ldiskfs patches for both SP2 and SP3, but it would be easier to drop support for SP2 and support only SP3.
