Yeah, I'd advise the same: the CPython compatibility testing images should provide unpatched builds. That way, checking against the upstream builds becomes a first step in triage for problems encountered with redistributor builds: if a problem only shows up in the distro version, then distro specific patches would be the first place to look.
