Expired crds values where the contact-info does not exist are wasted: https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/f804ce63c/core/src/crds_gossip_pull.rs#L353-L378 and then are sent again over the next pull-request. Also, the stake of the first response (which can be anything) is used to weight all pull-responses to a node, while the rest of responses can have different stake. https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/f804ce63c/core/src/cluster_info.rs#L2231
