You are probably remembering something about the electronic parking brake maybe?

To be fair, I haven't changed my rear rotors either but I wouldn't let the parking brake assembly dissuade you. I think you only need one of the scan tools to electronically open the parking brake or something like that.

Plenty of new cars with rear electric parking brake, time for us to get into it!
Bav Auto has a diy on the e brake if you don't have a scan tool. A little disassembly but not too bad.
