Memcached is distributed caching system, where as APC's user data cache is not. Memcached requires separate server instance (memcached) to operate. APC does not. Also, APC's user cache is 5+ times faster than memcached. If some extension is to provide this functionality, it has to be as close as possible in possibilities and speed as APC's implementation has. Memcached is not and never hasn't been an alternative for APC, they are meant for two different jobs.
