(Here I *am* speaking as a member of the development team. :-) )

Yes, it is different, and the info was posted here two days ago and is 
also in the Reference Guide. The long and the short of it is we 
thought we were increasing functionality by allowing the folder to be 
created.  (There are benefits to the need functionality that I'm not 
going into here.) After a complaint about the niceness of the old 
functionality, we are currently working on a way to have the best of 
both worlds. Stay tuned.
