32193	Deprecate MemcachedCache.	Mariusz Felisiak	Mariusz Felisiak	"`python-memcached` is not maintained anymore (see [https://github.com/linsomniac/python-memcached/issues/95 python-memcached#95]) and it makes difficulties in fixing some issues (e.g. #29867). Moreover we added a cache backend for `pymemcache` (#29887) so we have a good builtin alternative.

I think it's time to deprecate the `django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache` backend in Django 3.2 and remove it in Django 4.1. "	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Core (Cache system)	dev	Normal	fixed		pope1ni Adrian Turjak Aymeric Augustin	Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
