While it is not commonly referenced that way in SUSE marketing, it is
accurate to call SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3 as SUSE Linux Enterprise
15.3. After all, the machine-parseable name VERSION_ID value is set to
"15.3" because it's *sane* to handle it that way.

I personally wish we'd stop using the "service pack" terminology as
it's effectively pointless.
