Quic-Friends,

It seems clear that Version Negotiation and Server Stateless Retry packets
should not be acknowledged (afterall they cannot be retransmitted, and they
use packet numbers not generated by the sender).. but I can't find any text
that says this. Am I missing it, should we add it, other?

I guess I'm particularly concerned about interop running into "The sender
MUST close the connection if an unsent packet number is acknowledged" if
acks are sent here..
