Having memcached, mongodb or whatever other similar extensions in core
won't make these hosters provide memcache or mongodb support, not the
waste majority. However there are already hosters providing mongodb or
couchdb support and they all take care of the respective extensions
using the non core modules (pecl or github).

That's why I really like to differentiate sqlite/http and similar
extensions from extensions being a client for a given server or
service. Mysql is still a de facto standard but that's something we
cannot really compare to any of the current nosql&co technologies,
from a usage or spread point of view. Dedicated hosting are usually
the place where they are used (virtualized or not).
