No Module as a "SP1" in their description. No module will ever get a
SP1 in their description.

That modules differ from the SLES lifecycle is documented in the 
SLES 12 GA release notes:
"SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Modules offer a choice of supplemental
 packages, ranging from tools for Web Development and Scripting, through 
 a Cloud Management module, all the way to a sneak preview of SUSE's 
 upcoming management tooling called Advanced Systems Management. Modules 
 are part of your SUSE Linux Enterprise Server subscription, are technically 
 delivered as online repositories, and differ from the base of SUSE Linux 
 Enterprise Server only by their lifecycle. "

You can test it, just install and use it ;)
