I say it's odd because it then links the clutch hydraulics with the brake hydraulics. If one fails due to fluid problems the other system is now exposed to that failure, that's all. But again, if you're having fluid issues, leaky lines or what not, you're going to have to fix something anyhow, so I can see how it's not a big issue. Cost cutting wins in this case I guess.
I can appreciate simplifying a system, but you gotta weigh the costs. Not saying it's a bad idea, just something I hadn't seen before.
