Are the three "make XXX_workspace" just placeholders?

Those were added early with the intention being implemented, but as the 
project got more defined, the priority for these have gone down and they 
are not part of the current build-infra project. In the build-infra 
repos they have been removed. It would still be a good idea to create 
them in my opinion.
