Yes, something like that may make sense as well for readability.

Keeping folders in case of failures is something that I have been
advocating in favor of for some time, but this never got into the tree

There is a patch from Horiguchi-san that allows actually such a thing,
have a look at patch 0006 on this email:

The same concept rebased gives the attached. I didn't double-check the
