It didn't, but the CRUSH topology changed. A CRUSH dev might have a better and 
detailed explanation, but although the item has a weight of 0 it is still a 
item to straw(2).

When drawing straws it never gets selected because of the weight of 0, but it 
is still there.

Same goes when you set the weight of the OSD to 0 and remove it from CRUSH a 
few days later. That means that you have double rebalance.

In your case it would be best to add the items to CRUSH with the right weight 
when you want them to start participating.
