That doesn't entirely follow: it's a reason why not to abandon the
without-a-d extension, but it doesn't actually justify keeping both.

It seems to me that *neither* extension is properly maintained right now
(the with-a-d extension has recent releases, but all wrapping an abandoned
upstream library); so if the without-a-d extension has better
cross-platform support, it might make sense to keep *only* that one
(revived from https://github.com/websupport-sk/pecl-memcache) and encourage
anyone interested to contribute rather than splitting the effort.
