Since SP1 was released February 22, 2011, can I exclude all &quot;updates&quot; released prior to that from my update package, since my OS image includes SP1 in it? <br />
Or does SP1 not include all prior needed patches?

No, unfortunately it seems there are patches that were not included in SP1. The best test I can suggest is build your machine and then run it against MS security baseline Analyser (MBSA). Whatever patches it lists, include them in your updates group.

Apparently when I sync updates for Windows 7 in SCCM 2012 R2, there are updates that show up for Windows from like 2009. <br />
Should I still put these into packages to deploy? &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
It just seems strange that old critical/security updates from 2009 would be retrieved when they're not Expired or Superseded.

SCCM 2012 Software Updates - old updates from 2009?
