I accidentally replied direct to Peter in my reply to the call-with-environment-variables thread. Here is my original comment regarding the "cock" utility:
I've done some work recently but haven't updated its dependents to
specify the latest version.

Isn't it a rooster-pun, given Chicken?
Obvious to
you, obvious to me. Unfortunately not so immediately obvious to some.
Wattle, cockadoodledoo and comb are all available and benign
alternatives. It's not a big deal, it just felt unprofessional at that
moment, like I was installing some software written by a 12 year old. I
like the chicken theme and the word play. I needed to do a from-scratch
install of chicken the other day and I called it a "raw chicken" install
and got a chuckle from the infrastructure guy. All good.
