Ability to create a container as a dormant folder that contains subfolders only

Often I want to create a folder and with its only purpose to contain subfolders - it is very frustrating when users get confused about where to upload a file and end up using the folder that contains subfolders rather than the subfolders that I want them to upload the file in. For instance uploading into ("Architects Drawings") rather than "Architects Drawings" then "Plans". A Dormant head container that only acted to contain subfolders would make good sense.

    In Review for 5 years and no sign of it. A real nuisance. Especially as there is no reliable way to move anything uploaded to a top-level container into a subcontainer if that's where it should have gone, if the document numbers clash there is no option to add the new upload as a new revision to an existing item.

    I agree its really irritating. Would be great if dormant folders/containers were a feature.
