Oh, I hope that this is an exception. Such kind of optimizations may cause a lot of trouble since a link layer device is interfering with transport layer semantics. We all know that exactly these kinds of interference eventually end up in problems with end-to-end transparency and deployment of new protocol options. At least it interferes with the ACK clocking expectation of some congestion control algorithms...
