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...
