Isn't this really an o/s question? If it isn't installed and enabled by Debian, RH, CentOs, Ubuntu, whatever, by default, why should an open-source install such as Koha usurp the o/s?
We're specifically talking about the packages here, so RH, CentOs, etc don't count. Part of the goal of them is to provide an easy best-practice configuration, so having a recommendation/requirement of memcache is totally within the bounds of this.
Can Koha give some performance statistics? Can Koha be fairly certain that nothing else is compromised (and I'm pretty certain that nothing 'bad' will happen.) If not (and respectfully to you Robin), isn't it a wee bit arrogant to install it and then say "you can edit koha-conf.xml" and turn it off?
We have a testing cycle for this. If it's discovered that it causes problems in some set of circumstances, we can either fix that case, revisit our plan to include it, or whatever is appropriate.
I just take it for granted -- but have wondered why the various o/s's don't include it automatically.
That wouldn't make sense. Applications have to be made to work with it. There's no point running it if nothing you're using can use it. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D
