I updated the list in the first post. It should include everything. I will create a poll in a couple of days.

Guys i'm thinking about a feature don't know if it's possible but let's see:

i'm thinking about a possibility to use many deferent texture for only one shader with some option like " Apply by loose parts/face/position" and "randomize".
They call it Multi/Sub-Object Material in 3dsmax :

how i magine it but sure it can be diferent :

i would love to see roughness added to architectural glass, in order to do more realistic SSS shaders - using the translucent shaders isn't very accurate, and causes much longer render times compared to using architectural glass, textured transmission & a heavy scattering volume.

Currently there's a workaround i've found by connecting a glossy coat to an architectural glass shader (the roughness from the glossy coat seems to override the architectural glass reflections if the transmission isn't black), but it would be nice to not require workarounds like that.

Add normal auto-smooth and architectural glass roughness.

After your question i've take more time to think about the mechanics behind ("also found that my first idea was not that good"). The most possible and correct way will be to have it like a sort of advance MIX MATERIAL.

Super MIX MATERIAL

# 1 It should be able to support more than 2 material

# 2 the material will be mixed by blender fonction like : " loose part " " position "

Your explanation is even more vague than the original post :mrgreen:

I think it behaves like this:
Think in a modeled wood floor/planks/and so;
You plug 2 or more textures (Could have a + button to add more then 2);
Randomize by loose geometry and you have only 1 of these textures per loose geometry of the object.
