is raft a fancy name for distinguished leader multipaxos?

  Raft does the things that Paxos does, using a mechanism that is much simpler for humans to understand and therefore implement correctly.

    if it does the things paxos does, it's provably isomorphic to paxos. what I saw in the demo was a flavor of paxos that's been around since the early 90's, I'm pretty sure that's where the credit is due.

      You can't think of any case, for anything, in which you can do something in two (or more!) different ways, but one of them is simpler to explain, understand, and implement?
