Something like that, yep. Could you please open a bug for RHEL on the
documentation, describing your concerns with this? I'll then make sure
it is treated by the documentation team.
IMHO there is nothing to do here. I'm sure somewhere on the OEL support
pages it says that all packages must be up-to-date. I'd swear I've read
then same on the RHEL side.
It boils down to the fact that with thousands of packages there is no
way to support every possible version combination, especially between
two versions released three years apart.

As to mapping of the releases, I have a plan to make something like
that
with connection to what API is provided by each release. I have ways to
generate that automatically and hope to find some time relatively soon
to work on that.
