I did, as well as explained how Pioneer/Matsushita went out of their way
to only use CLV for MO for a longest time because of the issues.
Sony/Philips first introduced CAV for MO with the 10x CAV CD-RW format 
when Pioneer/Matsushita introduced 8x CLV CD-RW.

Unlike a single-groove, which uses fixed linear size timing and data pits
regardless of CLV or CAV, MO media with its pie-slice is very dependent
and explicitly timed for CLV and CAV.  And once you format at a particular
type and speed, you should always re-write at that speed.

Yeah, I'm getting enough people e-mailing me now that they've found my
explainations in Google searches that I really need to put some pictures
to my words.
