Thanks for the thoughts, Alfredo.

I use figure wrap floats extensively. For example, I have a 600 page
document averaging about 1 figure per page, the majority of which are
figure wrap floats. I use them in quite a different way from pure figure
floats. The wrapped figures are associated with specific paragraphs in
specific sections or subsections. If latex doesn't allow the specific
placement, a number of options follow: I try adjusting the line span of
the figure or the column width. Or I try placing them with the
preceding or following paragraph. Another strategy is to combine two (or
three) into a pure figure float and try to ensure that that is in the
vicinity of the relevant paragraphs. Only as a last resort do I float
the wrapped figure. The floating of wrapped figures seems to me a
secondary "last resort" property. Ordinary figure floats are available
for floating. Wrapped figures are associated with specific paragraphs,
and should, if possible stay there. Hence I think the current behaviour
is the preferred one, where the floating option is available, but needs
to be specifically selected.
