Correct, I just wasn't sure where the organizational boundaries were.

Done:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=78333

Note that this requests a solution to my team's usecase (multiple
workspaces, same projects in each) rather than Warnicke's usecase (1
workspace, 1 project per version), just because they seem orthogonal
to me. But if a solution could be found to both, that would be great.

I'll let the function providers determine the dependencies :-)
