I don't think it's that simple, but...OK, whatever.

That was mine, actually. It's quite a good example. I did a private
build of Tcl/Tk 8.6, then over the course of a couple of weeks, patched,
rebuilt and tested every Tcl/Tk-based app in the distro, then pushed
them to Cooker in a lump. Was this, in a sense, a 'cookerer'? I guess
so. But it did the job, and I don't think there would have been any
benefit in pushing the updated Tcl before I was done testing the
rebuilds.

There's probably a few issues lurking, but mostly it went OK. Anyhoo.
