All cache backends, excluding memcached, have a CacheClass defined at the
end of the file "For backwards compatibility". From what I can gather this
means pre 1.3 compatibility.

The memcached backend has dropped this CacheClass (in 1.6 or 1.7). Does
this mean all other cache backend can also drop this?

With a mention in the release notes it's probably fine.

Comment (by jaap3):

Should I put the note in `internals/deprecation.txt` (that's where the
removal of `django.core.cache.backends.memcached.CacheClass` is mentioned)
or `releases/1.8.txt`?

Comment (by timgraham):

I would mention it as a backwards incompatible change in the 1.8 release
notes.
