 ### Sending ACK Frames {#sending-acknowledgements}
 
-An ACK frame SHOULD be generated for at least every second ack-eliciting packet.
-This recommendation is in keeping with standard practice for TCP {{?RFC5681}}.
-
 An endpoint MUST NOT excessively delay acknowledgements of ack-eliciting

@mikkelfj Even if you only ACK the last 2 packets per ACK, QUIC should work correctly.  It's if packets never get acknowledged, especially consistently, there are potential problems.
