This may break the volume rendering patch, but shaders with volume closures still
get tagged as having volume closures, so it should be fixable without too many
changes."</font><font color="#efefef">

<div>The ability to render an object with both a surface and a
volume shader was a selling point of Cycles. It's how swimming
pools must be rendered. I'm asking you to please revert this
commit, I was able to make a bunch of beautiful ice sculptures
with the volume patch because Cycles allowed both Surface and
Volume on the same object.</div>

i agree with this, you shouldn't be taking away slots as it takes
away the flexibility that was a cornerstone of the nodal workflow
when it was designed if anything we need to add the ability to add
more sockets, like more displacment values and surface and volume so
we can layer shaders rathur then mix or add them<br>
