No, only order is needed. The current TCP solution is not reliable either,
it can happily drop messages during Gating or if buffers overflow. Akka
messaging was never reliable. Ordering is as simple as adding a sequence
number and dropping out-of-order messages.

UDP also allows us to get rid of the rather messy TCP connection
management, like maintaining ordering *across* multiple TCP connections,
the issues when two systems open TCP connections in both ways, idle
timeouts to not grow n^2 connections in a cluster due to gossip, etc.

Also we avoid congestion control which can be weird in TCP incast. We will
need something else though but the design restrictions are not the same as
for TCP (which is internet global).
