[ENet-discuss] reliable unsequenced

[Lee Salzman]

There is no support for reliable unsequenced at the moment.

Packets with no flags are unreliable, but sequenced.

I don't think I'd fret about things like gunfire needing unsequenced. 
They are really not sent frequently enough for it to matter that I've 
ever seen in practice in all my years of making FPS games. Position data 
is really the big thing handle latency-wise.
