Right > now, that baseline is "bundled in core". Having memcached, mongodb or whatever other similar extensions in core won't make these hosters provide memcache or mongodb support, not the waste majority. However there are already hosters providing mongodb or couchdb support and they all take care of the respective extensions using the non core modules (pecl or github). That's why I really like to differentiate sqlite/http and similar extensions from extensions being a client for a given server or service. Mysql is still a de facto standard but that's something we cannot really compare to any of the current nosql&co technologies, from a usage or spread point of view. Dedicated hosting are usually the place where they are used (virtualized or not).
