Pardon me?
https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/i386/openSUSE/10.3/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html dates back to 2007.
So? 9.3 was a major, 10.0 was a major, 10.1 was a major, 10.2 another major, 10.3 another major, 11.0 another major... the separation between 10.3 and 11.0 was the same as between 10.1 and 10.2. The numbers were irrelevant, the big number changed arbitrarily and did not denote a major change. That was the policy before Leap. There was no distinction between major or minor. The policy was described as openSUSE not having major.minor versions and had to be explained to newcommers that were afraid of doing an update from 9.3 to 10.0, but not from 10.0 to 10.1. Some people thought that odd numbers were devel, even numbers were stable.
So [...] 15.* are major versions.
Yes.
openSUSE Leap 15 is the major version in sync with SUSE Linux Enterprise 15; so far minor versions (or point releases) have aligned with service packs there, so Leap 15.2 <-> SLE 15 SP2, Leap 15.2 <-> SLE 15 SP2,...
