Also, when ACKs packets don't fit in packets, this would also hold for ACK'ing ack-eliciting packets. So you could end up having to not ACK'ing some packets and induce loss. Requiring an ACK for all packets would be problematic. I'm not sure we want that. The result could be very hard to implement while the practical benefit would be small: sending multiple ACK packets with different content due to overflow.
