add folders for build definitions in Team Explorer
I would like to have folders for my build definitions in Team Explorer that allow me to organize and apply batch updates to several definitions at once. I could apply security to the various folders which would be inherited by the build definitions underneath. Batch updates could include regular expression modification of the build definition names, workspace folders, drop locations, and/or projects to build.
This suggestion is on our product backlog for consideration in a future release.

As we will be moving to the 'recommended' single team project approach when we migrate to 2012, this feature , or one like it will be critical as we will have up to 100 build definitions. We are considering a shift to team city as they provide templates and better organization and management features.

17 months later - any updates on where this feature sits on the product backlog?

I really need a way to have build permissions uniformly set across a series of build definitions that could be placed in a folder, and I need a way to have other permissions set across other builds in a different way. Build Folders would go a long way.

I'd like the ability to put build definitions into not just folders, but a hierarchy of sub-folders under "Builds" folder in Team Explorer. I'd like to be able to move them around such a hierarchy without relation to their version control structure (another wished-for-feature), thus active/recent build definitions could easily be kept visible or easily discoverable without having to branch/move within the version control hierarchy. I also want a way to easily customize a group of definitions at once.

I would also be nice with something like "My Builds" with private builds only shown to me, like is possible with queries in the Work Item deaprtment.
