How does one be assured that the rider clutch transition requests don't get transposed through some algorithm to apply the friction plates in its own optimal way? If so, then a servo-driven "manual clutch" is redundant. Might as well automate the actuation - which Honda already does successfully on models having the servo-driven DCT option. Remember: The DCT option has rider manual override which still does all the friction plate duties.
That said, maybe a clutch-by-wire offering might have modes. Maybe something like:
* Direct Mode (allow for stalling)
* Slipper Mode
* Assisted Mode
* Lazy Mode (never stall)
