My point is just that there isn't a consensus algorithm that needs to get run to know which of the two proposals to accept.

It doesn't need a raft consensus algorithm, but corrosion does converge to a consensus, doesn't it? In the OSPF example, that does needs to converge to a state that is consistent and replicated on all the routers, otherwise loops and drops will occur. I'm curious if any convergence benchmark has been done that compares raft to corrosion.
