Deep Image output

We need Deep Image output for the renders for VFX work. Is there any way to prioritize this? I believe this is the biggest missing piece for blender/cycles to be used in a VFX studio pipeline.

Are there any addons out there perhaps?

I don't know why this would ever get a downvote. Cycles, and maybe eevee have all the necessary tooling to be able to collect this data as far as I know.

perhaps update your proposal, or make a new one which goes into the benefits of deep image format, and why it's so great (it is.) and how even just outputting them, let alone accepting them in the compositor too, would assist in advanced VFX. it's also a relatively open file type I think, and basically, all a naive approach would need is to record the z-depth samples come in at, group the samples into 3D pixels at an arbitrary depth resolution, and add them as pixels in a file.
