[Bf-cycles] Layer Manager - Overlaps with Render Passes

[Brecht Van Lommel]

Hi Julian,

I don't think there is overlap. The main thing external renderers need
is the ability to define custom render passes (AOVs). That wouldn't
affect your scene layers project, render passes would stay at the
render layer level, unaffected by changes to scene layers.
