Yes, I can see five, all dated 21st October and all for 2000 SP2. 
KB823182, KB824141, KB825119, KB826232, KB82035.

So the answer is that Microsoft didn't release these patches for 2000 SP2.
There are some organisations that wouldn't have put SP3 on simply because of
the EULA that says that Microsoft can retrieve data from your machine (or
something like that). That EULA is illegal in the UK anyway due to the
provisions of the 1998 Data Protection Act (but IANAL).

There are some other updated ones too.

Political correctness - a modern day tool to confuse the minds of the
