 When a PTO timer expires, a sender MUST send at least one ack-eliciting packet
 as a probe, unless there is no data available to send.  An endpoint MAY send up
 to two full-sized datagrams containing ack-eliciting packets, to avoid an
-expensive consecutive PTO expiration due to a single lost datagram.

So if both endpoints skip every second packet number early in the connection, in order to aggressively detect optimistic ACK's, would that lead to an ACK flood?
