The memcache.db.inc file was supposed to provide a means of having memcache+db fallback. This hasn't worked out well. The file is completely out of sync with memcache.inc, has several known bugs, and it has never been proven to be an advantageous strategy. I'd like to deprecate it for a release and then remove it in the next.

As an alternative I'm proposing that we let selected bins be exempt from memcache altogether and go straight to the database: #959200: Add ability to exclude bins (tables) from memcache

Totally deprecating it has my vote.

I thought it was already possible to control which cache goes where in Drupal 7?

Deprecating it sounds good to me as well, I used it for a couple of weeks about two years ago then never looked at it again.

Drupal 7 does let you specify different backends for different bins.

Here are the changes to documentation that I'm making to reflect this deprecation.
