Yes, these are available as PTFs.

The latest 1.2.3 will also be in the next maintenance release.

The async IO error propagation bug is difficult to phase into SP3, as it
breaks the kABI. You can ask for it (if there's enough demand, we might
take the kABI hit and release it for SP3 as well, but then others will
complain as well).

SLES10 is _not_ experimental!

SP4 is still quite far out, I think Q3/Q4 next year - it will, for the
largest part, just be a consolidation of the patches released so far.
