Hey devs, why was memcached chosen as a session alternative instead of for instance redis? Memcache is a pretty bad spot for sessions, and if you dont believe me, read what the author of memcache has to say:

Redis is a much better alternative for sessions, as it's got persistent storage, meaning you can restart a server (lets say after an upgrade), and wont drop your 20.000 connected users. Redis is also actively working on clustering, with alpha code available.
