Give me SP3!

We're currently pushing to get the 5th cumulative update on one of our servers (cause we keep running into a problem that was fixed in SP2 and fixed again in a patch that made it into CU 4)

We're running into reluctance because 'It's not a service pack. We should wait for the next service pack'. Meanwhile I'm flushing out the token cache every 3 hours...

SP5 for 2000, not so much. All my remaining SQL 2000 servers are vendor apps. If they don't say we can patch/upgrade, we're not allowed to. They haven't allowed an upgrade to SQL 2005, so I doubt they'll test a SP5.
