Naw, they are just hiding them.  Service Pack #1 is equivalent to 
version # XX.1, Service Pack #2 is equivalent to version # XX.2, and
so on.  The rule of thumb is to only implement the version
when the NEXT version is released.  For example, you implement version
2 on the date version 3 is released, you implement version 3 on the day
version 4 is released, etc.  It's pretty straightforward. :-)
