I haven't heard it discussed as much of an issue until very very recently. And for good reason. It's simply not really an issue...lol. If it was, people would have been complaining about it for years and years. Instead it's something that bothers a few people and suddenly everyone is like "oh noez!11" about it...
most people who discuss it say things like "I quit using CF/SLI over an unexplained preceived jitter that did not make sense with the FPS I was getting, its good to know finally what causes it and that I really felt it"
Recently I have experienced micro-stutter on mass effect... on a single GPU (both an 8800GTS 512 and a 4850), which infuriated me, the funny thing is that it is caused by my 3.6ghz E8400 being too slow for the game... It needs a quad core at over 3ghz to stop being CPU limited.

So, its not so much that it isn't an issue, but that people dismissed it as the imagination of noobs...
This also reminds me the time I noticed a "dimming" of lights in a room every now and then... everyone told me I was insane... turns out that when a major appliance, say, the washing machine, starts sucking power, the lights all over the house dim slightly. It is amazing how willing people are to dismiss what their own senses tell them.
