Comment (by joehoyle):

 My 2c, from @spacedmonkey posting for thoughts in Slack!

 Is the intention here to do integration tests against popular Object-Cache
 drop-in implementations, so Core knows it's broken something (either via a
 WP bug, or bug in a given object-cache implementation); or do you want to
 test if Core can use Redis (i.e. data types can be mapped etc?).

 As the object cache is just an interface, the irregularities between
 implementations of any drop-in seem to be the thing that would be
 uncovered by this. WP doesn’t really “run against memcache / redis”, they
 run against the object-cache implementation; now, running against 10
 object-cache implementations (maybe across file cache, redis, memcache,
 apcu, mysql (yes, some people do that :P), but IMO the upstream server
 doesn’t really matter, the implementation is what does) could be cool, as
 a means of integration testing-- but I think that's really testing the
 popular implementations and not so much Core.
