Content Organizer Rulers For Folder Based Content Types

Question

I am thinking that I already know the answer to my questions, but am hoping that I am wrong.

Can I setup a Content Organizer Rule on a Content Type based on a folder? So a folder content type, NOT a document content type.

I want to be able to move a folder full of documents, from a "current" lib to a "former" lib based on an "active" piece of metadata on my custom folder content type.

I have a feeling that this is not possible, as when building rules, I am only allowed the preset and custom document content type options and not any folder options what so ever.

Thanks SP Community!
