Well... 

"Always use latest one" *plus* "look for the latest release
announcement". 

Like
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2015-March/021005.html

A cross-reference doesn't really seem necessary because usually
hardware enablement is additive. Either CentOS is up to the version you
need, or it isn't yet.


If you really _need_ a specific minor release and want to _stay_ on it,
to my knowledge, that's not something CentOS has _ever_ done anyway.
You can pay for Red Hat's "EUS", or, I think Scientific Linux actually
does keep the ".y" releases separate (but I'm not sure of the details
as to how that's implemented).
