The aversion comes from experience.

The experience of constant rebuilds when a new version of an extension

extension.

That is not the situation described by the OP. He says he has app-
specific extensions; this means things he owns, and whose lifetime is
the same as his application. A "rebuild" must occur anyway when he
changes a single line of script.

Feel free to do as you like,

Good news. I was a bit afraid ;-)

experience tells most of us that is not the way to go.

Regardless of the situation at hand ? Are you alone with experience ?

BTW, version mismatch between executables is almost non-existent due to TEA.
You are much more likely to hit a problem, over time, that some of the
scripts you are using want version X and some want version Y of a packages.

This makes sense for a systemide install of Tcl of course. The case of
a captive Tcl inside a standalone executable is very different.
