Honestly, nobody should be using pymemcache or python-memcached or
pylibmc for anything caching related in OpenStack. People should be
using oslo.cache - however, if that needs work before it's usable,
people should be using dogpile.cache, which is what oslo.cache uses on
the backend.

dogpile is pluggable, so it means that the backend used for caching can
be chosen in a much broader manner. As morgan mentions elsewhere, that
means that people who want to use a different memcache library just need
to write a dogpile driver.

Please don't anybody directly use memcache libraries for caching in
OpenStack. Please.
