Was this issue ever been discussed?
Yes, its been discussed a number of times. It really is up to the implementer. In some cases where the write operation is considered to be reliable enough a regular ACK will be used. Others that are more concerned with the outcome of the write operation will use the ACK_TIMER so they can verify the write occurred successfully. In the end it's really your choice.
