[users@httpd] removal of mod_mem_cache in 2.4

Hey guys,

We're doing what we can to upgrade from 2.2.22 to 2.4.1 and (obviously)
I noticed that mod_mem_cache has been removed with the recommendation
to use mod_cache_disk instead.  I found this:

http://blog.monitis.com/index.php/2011/07/05/25-apache-performance-tuning-tips/

which I'm guessing is the reason why; to reiterate, basically the mem cache
is not as good as the disk cache because the cache isn't effectively shared.

Is this correct?  I'm just curious.

IIRC, It's also considered over-complicated and has other limitations
(only one variant for each resource at a time).
