That was mine, actually. It's quite a good example. I did a private

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.

You can probably do something very similar with a different tag in Koji.
That's how Python 2.6 was introduced in rawhide. Fedora maintainers
should be using this feature in this build system more often. Openssl
hassles could have been avoided by using it as well for example.
