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.

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.

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.
