Right. To a first approximation, these rules are equivalent. The
difference is that the second won't handle the case where you have a host
with many/all OSDs tht are marked out (data will get shifted to the
surviving OSD or you will get no results), whereas the chooseleaf rule
will handle things properly and maintain a balanced distribution.
