Skipping sub-folder from TSM backup process without impacting its previous backup

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

I want to skip a sub-folder on a Windows drive (or a sub-directory on
a Linux file system) from the TSM client incremental backup process.
When I say 'skipping a sub-folder', I mean not to back up this sub-
folder starting from tonight but not to inactivate/expire this sub-
folder's previous backup. I know we can use the 'exclude.dir' option to
exclude a sub-folder from the backup process, but the 'exclude.dir'
option will inactivate or expire this sub-folder previous backup. This
is not what I want to do. Also I know I can use 'domain' option to skip
a Windows drive (or a Linux file system) from the backup process; but
the 'domain' option cannot skip the sub-folders (or sub-directories).
Our TSM client is 7.1.0.3 on Windows 2012 server or on Linux Redhat
server. Our TSM server is 7.1.3.0 on Linux Redhat server.
I have told this not possible by any version of TSM client; so please add this feature to the coming new TSM client. Thanks.

    I don't see the use case, why would this be a good thing to have?
