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.
