It doesn't matter what you usethe UDP for. That fact that you might use UDP
for anything woudl require you to implement all of that extra work for even
the more basic of data in order to ensure reliable communications (which is
an oxymoron since UDP is not reliable to begin with).

It would always matter. Even if you send small commands, you could send
CommandA and then CommandB afterwards, CommandB could still arrive first.
If the order of your commands is important, than that becomes a big deal.
