That pattern is now default in oe-core:

I think that in some cases it's more useful then rm_work.

IMHO only missing part is good documentation (or better name) describing
rm_work/rm_work_old difference:

1) rm_work is much better for builds in tmpfs
2) rm_work_old is better then rm_work if you have enough space to keep
1 WORKDIR for each component you're building
