It is an important part of the design. They want to multiplex streams 
into a single connection, and ordered packets means one lost packet in 
one stream holds up all the streams. Only way around that is with 
something other than TCP right now. This is a major downside of 
multiplexing SPDY over using multiple connections, which I believe was 
one of the prime motivators to develop QUIC.

In the FAQ, they mention that they are hoping once they get a good 
design in QUIC some of its ideas can be moved into TCP. Someday.
