With regard to Service Packs containing features, the precedent for this was set with SQL Server 2005 which RTM'd with many 'features' either missing or opening acknowledged as missing - some of the replication features spring to mind. SP1 plugged many of the holes

With regard to SQL Server 2008 SP1 it would be nice to bring in some new features for instance how about support for Access 2007 file formats? Maybe SSRS could supprot Excel 2007 (SpreadML) export?
