I wouldn't say it's that complicated a setup. It would require a single settings snippet -- just like the ones for other backends -- and, I guess, a link to django-redis docs for more details (if django-redis is what we recommend), maybe a quick explanation of what is CLIENT_CLASS and other options. While it would add some maintenance burden (occasionally checking whether any breaking changes were introduced in the 3rd party package that require updating settings) it's still way easier than adding a backend to django core.
While I agree with others about redis being popular and adding such a backend in django being a good idea (I would love if that happened) I understand the reasons for not doing it. A recommendation of a 3rd party package + setup documentation, on the other hand, is pretty simple thing to do. If we want, it's also not very hard to provide `django.core.cache.backend.redis.Redis Cache` that depends on django-redis and is an alias for `django_redis.cache.RedisCache` -- it's basically the way it works with DB backends, I don't see why it wouldn't be a good idea for cache as well.
