Do you know who the best person we can interview about this is? Looks really interesting / important.

  Raft isn't for "decentralized" exactly, because it relies on knowing the number and identities of participants (and deliberately stops being able to commit updates when the number falls below a quorum). It's "no single point of failure" but the algorithm implies a sysadmin in control.
