Comment:
These are my initial thoughts:
* I can see in 19c4052f98e5dc4fe9d7edd7125df6a66efbd79f as part of adding
Python 3.12 support, we install `libmemcached-dev`. This doesn't appear to
be documented and we possibly need to document this.
* I think the decision to remove `pylibmc` is a decision to deprecate
`PyLibMCCache`, this is still used
[https://github.com/search?q=%22django.core.cache.backends.memcached.PyLibMCCache%22+language%3APython&type=code
quite a bit] from what I can tell. I can't imagine that would be a popular
decision
Generally, I think this needs quite a lot of input before a decision can
be made (and probably a Django forum discussion).
Django 6.0 is due to be released until December so there's quite some time
for a release to `pylibmc` to be issued. Will mark as `Someday/Maybe` to
revisit closer to that date.
