Good catch. LiteFS has an option to mark nodes as candidates or not. For example, you can run a cluster with a couple candidate nodes in one region (e.g Chicago) and every other region may just run a single non-electable replica. We don’t support any kind of tiering for candidates in different regions. That’s not a bad idea though.
