I am not sure what is ment here: "For customers who will be upgrading from SQL Server 2005 SP2 CU#10 or SP2 CU#11, you will have to install the latest CU on SP3 after upgrading to SP3 release to get all the fixes."

I'm not finding a CU12 at this time. So if we are running the "latest CU" (CU11), and apply SP3, then do we need to re-apply CU11? Does this mean that not all of the CU's are in SP3, and no matter what we will need to apply the CU11 post SP3 install?

However I feel the explanation of whether we also need to implement the cumulative update for SP3 needs improvement as I was unable to determine if I needed to install it before SP3, after SP3, or not at all.
