A modification to the Raft consensus protocol uses finite projective planes to allow progress with fewer than a majority of nodes, ensuring safety by guaranteeing any two valid voting blocs share a common node. The trade-off is that not every subset of nodes forms a valid bloc, and the protocol is not guaranteed to make progress whenever a majority of nodes is active.

We propose adding generic concrete methods to Go, allowing methods to have type parameters like functions, which will increase the language's expressiveness and simplify code in certain situations. This change is fully backward-compatible and does not preclude the implementation of generic interface methods at a later time.
