What this says to me is, if any of your clusters have automatic updating turned on, you might get SP3 as a surprise.  Since the blog post states that it must be run in attended / UI mode, maybe that is not quite true (it will probably download but not install), but I would check on your clusters just in case.  It doesn't sound cut and dried to me.
