Is there a table/description of which targets (15.2, 15.3, etc) are binary compatible? Something that would help one to select which things might work?
In terms of packages that come from SLE they will be binary compatible for the whole of the 15.X series with select few exceptions, this is why we still have such an old version of gcc. For openSUSE packages its a bit more flexible so it may change from point release to point release but normally people try to avoid it.

I get this point. But when searching for packages for a version of leap like 15.4, these will not show up. If they are truly compatible, then perhaps this should be accounted for.
Also, if they are compatible, why does OBS even bother with a 15.x target and instead simply define only, say, 15. Then the wasted builds and all would be avoided and the users of these packages would perhaps better understand what they are for. Maybe that's a goal already defined? It doesn't mean that the point release targets can't also exist. But a non-point-release-common target would perhaps make intentions more clear. One could choose the 15 target to make it clear that your package is not specific to a point release.

For packages that are inherited in SLE15-SP4 from SLE15-SP2, I normally don't enable other leap then 15.2, since they are supposed to work with newer versions as they are. So, why to waste resources.
