I think they wanted to discriminate between them on tasks where someone might reasonably decide for either of them.

I haven't seen those usecases yet.

Either you want to scale over multiple systems or you don't. Either you have more data than RAM or you don't.

How about Hacker News, and more generally internet discussion forums?

Many discussion forums are SQL backed - but both Reddit and Digg are reported to use Cassandra, a NoSQL system.

In this case Redis would be the odd man out. Unless you want to do manual sharding and replication, MySQL also is targeted at a different use-case. I also don't think anybody would run a 40 node mysql master-master cluster
