Yes, I noticed this but:

1. it needs to rework the old files so backward compatibility is broken,
2. above all, it is not always possible if the underlying class load
   some packages that, hence, are loaded before `floatrow'.

But, in such a case, why isn't it enough to manually load `etex'?

Do you mean via \reserveinserts?

But, once more, it is unfortunate backward compatibility is broken...
