Many of these animals are crosses in the wild anyway. I had a discussion with Soeren of Precision Reptiles about this subject just the other day. He told me that he spent several months in OZ, herping different locales for carpets. In one case, he found a perfect jungle on one tree, and a perfect coastal in the same tree, but on a lower branch. Were they pure? I doubt it. In the wild these animals mix blood fairly often. Often enough to make any "purity" claims sort of moot IMHO. Sure there are isolated populations, but since we don't track most of these carpets with Locale name anyway, then its a lost cause. i agree with Jim O that the best practice is to just start calling them "type" carpets.
