In the 1.10 version of the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/http/sessions/#using-
cached-sessions Using cache sessions] documentation, it warns the user
that, "You should only use cache-based sessions if you’re using the
Memcached cache backend."

From what I understand, other cache backends like Redis work as well as
Memcached for this use case. Assuming my understanding is correct, the
documentation should be updated to reflect this.

If I'm incorrect, perhaps add a note about why Redis is not a viable
candidate.

Comment (by timgraham):

Django doesn't ship a Redis cache backend so the warning is merely limited
to the cache backends shipped with Django. Clearly, we cannot assess the
entire possibility of third-party cache backends. Do you feel this needs
clarification?
