I wouldn't be holding my breath to see any action but if the problem is described accurately enough with some options on how a feature might be implemented then the MS decision makers might be more easily swayed. I think it is important to clarify that 'floating graphics' is the wrong terminology to use to describe your issue. That terminology already has a meaning in Word and distracts the reader from what you really want to do which is reduce vertical white space on the bottom of pages caused by large graphics positioned in text flows.
