Isn't that the real compatibility test anyway - how successful a new version of Python is at running all the existing Python code...

Yes, but we should have expect 3rd party code to be detecting bugs for us that our test suite could have shown on a platform. Well, Trent Nelson is going to devote some real time to Snakebite - so there is a very good chance that it will be up and active before the release. Naturally I agree it would be preferable to run tests on all supported platforms prior to release.
