Seems like a bit of knee-jerk reaction. The current design with three spaces has an important feature: it allows parallel transmission and ack on several encryption levels without open space for denial of service attacks. Parallel transmission occurs for example when handshake data has to be retransmitted after 1-RTT data has already been sent. But if you fold all of that into a single sequence, then the receiver has to accept interleaved encryption levels, and once you do that the DOS attacks become possible.
