Is there a reason for not including service packs? Is it for example if I want to stay unpatched on XP SP1 level?

Yes.

No.
It is, for example, if you only have machines (or installation media) with the latest SP installed/included and want to avoid downloading (and packing/burning/copying) the huge SP installation files.

WSUSOU does only support the latest service pack level.

If it's something like RTFM, I already checked the wiki inside trac, the documentation page and the included faq-enu.txt but couldn't find anything. The forum wouldn't allow me to search for service pack since the words were too common.

No, sorry, it's just short for "Regards Torsten Wittrock".

RTW

Ahaaaaa, and i always thought it´s a secret sign of a suspicious sect

GTW and RTW could also be ''Getting to work'' or ''Returning to work''. That's what I thought.

I think it would be a good option if you have service packs downloaded to choose in the UpdateInstaller if it should install Windows Service Packs and Office Service Packs.

That would make no sense. WSUSOU does only include updates since the latest service pack. Updates for older service pack levels are not included. So if you don't install the latest service pack, you won't get any updates installed by WSUSOU. If the latest service pack is already installed on the target system, its installation will be skipped anyway.
