For some custom rendering engines it's advantageous not to write the image files to disk.
An example would be a network rendering engine which does it's own image writing.
This feature is only supported when bl_use_postprocess is also disabled, since render
engines can't influence the saving behavior of the sequencer or compositor.

Some warnings remain that require larger changes.

For Cycles, when enabling the Persistent Data option, the full render data
will be preserved from frame-to-frame in animation renders and between
re-renders of the scene. This means that any modifier evaluation, BVH
building, OpenGL vertex buffer uploads, etc, can be done only once for
unchanged objects. This comes at an increased memory cost.
Previously there option was named Persistent Images and had a more limited
impact on render time and memory.
When using multiple view layers, only data from a single view layer is
preserved to keep memory usage somewhat under control. However objects
shared between view layers are preserved, and so this can speedup such
renders as well, even single frame renders.
For Eevee and Workbench this option is not available, however these engines
will now always reuse the depsgraph for animation and multiple view layers.
This can significantly speed up rendering.
These engines do not support sharing the depsgraph between re-renders, due
to technical issues regarding OpenGL contexts. Support for this could be added
if those are solved, see the code comments for details.

Eevee is now used for Freestyle rendering by default, since other engines are
unlikely to have support for this. Workbench and Cycles do their own rendering.
RenderEngine add-ons can do their own Freestyle rendering by setting
bl_use_custom_freestyle = True.
