Caching experts -- why do memcache and diskcache have seemingly

E.g. the cache_object_t * is populated with the status/date/etc data

subtle design ?
I am trying to understand (got a working mod_memcached_cache.c* --
and cannot quite get the right VARY behaviour).
If I had to guess I'd say it's because people have actually been
working on disk cache, while mem cache has been largely ignored for a
while.
Definitely! I remember the original patches tried to create some nice
abstractions so that more logic would move into mod_cache propery than
in mod_*_cache, but there turned out to be so many corner cases within
mod_disk_cache itself - and noone seems to /use/ mod_mem_cache - that
that fell by the wayside :/
Thanks ! That is useful info -- so for now I'll focus on
mod_disk_cache -- and once I got that mapped to mod_memcached -- will
then see if we can abstract that into a cleaner mod_memcache. But
first priority is getting it clean-ish/same-ish relative to the ssl
use of memcached (my usecase is OpenID -- which is 'heavy' on both).
