You can't claim that's quite understandable, can you?

To repeat myself again, HD and removables as HD have their drive letter 
assigned by os2dasd.dmd+os2lvm.dmd. Immediately after (when there isn't 
a reservedriveletter= entry) are the CD-rom drive letters assigned by 
os2cdrom.dmd. After these floppy and alike things like virtual disks 
(Device=...\vfdisk.sys), and after these at last the Run= affairs such 
as RamFS.

As I told already, the assign action (in respect to CD-drives) is done 
by os2cdrom.dmd. It is as simple as that - that's why the file is called 
*DMD btw-. And if there is a RESERVEDRIVELETTER= entry in the 
config.sys, it (= os2cdrom.dmd) will take this entry in consideration 
and begin assigning from the next free drive letter on.

Easy to check if you want (apparently nobody wants to check): rem out 
os2cdrom.dmd and reboot. You won't have a CD-drive anymore, and 
RESERVEDRIVELETTER= will have no influence.
In an Fdisk environment might shift as a consequence, in an LVM 
environment of course HD and removables as HD will keep their letter.
