Is it possible to, or wouldn't it be interesting for future versions, that the FTP-Upload can create directories?

For me it would be extremely interesting to let the Akeeba Backup create directories.

For example I'd like to Order my Remote FTP-Backups by Date like "/20150311/site1/backup.jpa"

I tried to build this using the Variable [DATE] in the Textfield for "Initial Directory".
So each time a backup starts, it would create a directory with the actual date.

The Backup-Routine itself can use the variable [DATE], because it tries to write in "/20150311/".
But the problem seems to be, that this directory is simply not existing at that moment.

Now my question is:

Wouldn't it be great, to add a switch for that inside the profile like "Create non-existing initial directories"?
