The is admittedly a response based on no knowledge of the internals of PCB.

If a board is built in layers there are a few layers that are always unique,
such as the silk screen, top paste, bottom paste etc.  All other layers will
be a trace layer.

You are never going to have an internal paste layer for example.

So after handling the unique layers does not unlimited trance layers fall out 
for 'free'?
