![I like it. Why? Future potential. I remember when Magura released their first MTB hydros and really wanting a set, but I was a poor college student. I could see the advantage back then and can see it now. Better braking equals faster riders. Look how far the MTB brake systems has come since then AND how much the sport has progressed because of those systems.
This development will ultimately lead to more progression on the road side of the bike industry which will then feedback into MTB and is in general a good thing. I am excited to see what happens next.

Brake Pads after 2.5 months in Portland Rain
Here is a shot of one of the rear brake pads after riding mostly in the rain during the winter. I think I got these pads after Thanksgiving and really felt the need to replace them as my braking was even worse than usual.
Here are the new pads installed. I went with the Kool Stop MTB version because we ‘should’ be getting through Winter and I should be able to get these to last till Summer.
