I feel like it would be much better if the article focused on QuePaxa because IMHO it's an algorithm that finally brings some novel ideas to concensus (e.g. not relying on timeouts) by kinda coming at it from a gossip protocol angle and is not getting the attention it deserves. The post shouldn't have focused and introduced Meerkat which hasn't been fully developed and tried in production. If they clearly presented the pros and cons vs not just Raft (which is popular but doesn't even play in the same league because it is relies on a leader) but other leaderless or multi-leader concensus protocols that would have been of greater value. The Paxos family of algorithms are a much closer fit here and there's a reason why some serious large planet scale systems choose it over Raft.

E.g. 1. Intro about issues with concensus 2. Intro to QuePaxa 3. Comparison to other algos that are close to it 4. Mentioning active work on implementation via Meerkat and intent to bring to production with followup posts.

As always when it comes to concensus it's all about trade-offs. And with QuePaxa that might be the increase in messages (note: I don't mean message round-trips). We'll see how it goes but it will definitely be interesting.
