Can you please stay at a technical level? Thanks. I'm not going to
argue if my experiences, feedbacks and interactions with any kind of
projects is larger or longer than yours (it is as a matter of fact but
who cares?).

But one thing is sure, all distributions do include mongodb,
memcache(d), couchdb, etc. If you can't run an apt-get install
memcached (non core), just like you run apt-get install pdo_mysql
(core), then there is something intrinsically wrong in your system.

I use mongodb, couchdb, memcached, and many other out of the box. My
only concerns is the lack of pecl support for many of them and that's
why I do think it is the way to go. And that's what the distros want
as well.
