Actions (such as RemoveFolder) must be associated with a single component
because components are what are installed or removed. If RemoveFolder were
associated with the directory itself, it would require a Component attribute in
order to associate the action with the controlling component, and that would
mean that all the resources and actions of a component would no longer be
(mostly) together.
