Hi, I propose dropping the memcache backend for several reasons:

Simplekv provides by definition only a simple set of instructions. Memcache can not even implement like half of these
Screws with the tests of other features, because tests have to be adjusted in case they dare to use a feature not present in the memcache backend, they will fail
Other, more capable backends available

In case you use the memcache backend, please let us know and give your input!

Over one month and no input is something we can interpret as no one caring too much about the memcached backend.
