That was a totally half-assed apology if it even was one, but I'll take it. :-)
Let's be civil from here on out. I admire your volunteer spirit and the support
you give to one of the most useful open-source/libre/free software applications
I'm using.

Let me take a moment to clarify my point.

To me, the idea of a formula in a frame is a work around. And a kludgy one at
best. Why? because it is different than the way text wraps around an image.
Wrapping text around an image takes little if any thought. Right-click,
properties. Oh, look! There's a tab for wrap. Done!

Contrast that to wrapping text around a formula. Right-click, properties. Oh,
look, there's a tab for wrap. What's this? All of the options are grayed out
and unavailable for me to select. Well, this sucks. How am I supposed to wrap
text around this [expletive deleted] formula.

This is how I envision it working. Gee, I'd really like to wrap text around
this formula so it doesn't spill out over multiple lines in a genuinely
visually displeasing way. I've never done it before, but I've wrapped text
around images. I wonder if its the same. Right-click, properties. Oh, look!
There's a tab for wrap. And it works exactly like it does for images. Isn't
that neat! I [expletive deleted] love LibreOffice! Honey, where's the
checkbook? I'm making a donation.

This is why I submitted the enhancement request.
