Does MirBFT plan to add a follower module?

Does MirBFT plan to add a follower module? Followers can synchronize requests but cannot participate in consensus. And, different nodes have different voting powers.

Hi, in principle both is possible, but currently the priority is focusing on making the basic protocol work, such that it can be integrated into useful projects. Creating a follower role and generalizing voting to use weights are very interesting add-ons to implement when the basic protocol is ready.
