A lot of the code outside rendering/ is talking directly to a RenderLayer where they shouldn't have such a deep knowledge of the rendering objects. This unfortunately propagates some rendering knowledge and assumptions outside the scope of rendering. It also ties our code to relying on RenderLayer for certain operations that reduces the abstraction.
