The mainline branch is also stable and reliable for production, and if you
need new features then you should use it, that is why it exists.

Furthermore, SPDY in current mainline version is actually better and have
less bugs, since the stable branch receives only critical fixes. So, if you
are using SPDY I recommend update to 1.5.8 without waiting for spdy/3.

As you have probably figured out, 1.4.x will not get spdy/3 support. There
are no reasons for backporting.
