Two points:

1. 1mdk (or 2mdk or anything) DOESN'T mean that there are patches. This
   depends on the brokenness of the code (roughly), not on the number of
   the release.

2. Do you know any distribution where they provide original source
   unpatched? There are simply not, the aim of a distribution is to
   provide some fixed (e.g. working) versions of the sources!!!
