node shldnt mean replica.
node = server

Node is an abstract term.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node

There are:

• Compute nodes
• Graph nodes
• Network nodes
• ... a lot of different contexts in which the term "node" is used.

This Raft library refers mostly to Raft Nodes.
This terminology is consistent with the Ongaro raft thesis.

well, seriously, honestly, most golang module users just want something really simple to comprehend and understand.
pls try to come up with anything else other than Nodes then. for example, i'm reading into vitess etc and they have vtable or something. u guys pls just completely standardize this so we can all use.

i suggest u say it as RNode (raft node) or DNode (Dragonboat / Data node)

Please just so that "normal" / super noob people coming from DB background (or etcd) can easily digest and understand this.

Please.
