Please revert the way AOV's in Arnold are handled back to a method which supports referencing. The decoder in the new rendersetup system doesn't work well and is very cumbersome, therefore extremely difficult to pipeline. This is one of the sole reasons our studio isn't using the new render setup system because the AOV workflow is so unstable. Having AOV's encoded into a json file is fine, but what was wrong with AO's being nodes in a file? They are still decoded and generated as nodes in the file, but now they cannot be saved or imported unless it is re-decoded? That seems very restrictive and difficult to work with.
