> Raft doesn't deal with the faults

I'm not sure what this means. The Raft paper explicitly states that Raft is a fault-tolerant system -- and by definition this means it deals with faults. To quote the paper:

"Replicated state machines are used to solve a variety of fault tolerance problems in distributed systems."

Raft is a type of replicated state machine. To say that "Raft doesn't deal with faults" is not correct. Perhaps you mean that there is other work to be done to take the fault tolerance offered by Raft and build a functioning application, and a system that will stay up in the real world -- and deal with an even wider range of faults. That I definitely agree with.
