eric.sedor I don't mind documenting these, though it would help to have a rough summary of what each of these collections are for. I can spitball something based on their names and contents.

I'm also thinking that, in absence of a server-side change to lock down permissions for these collections, we might benefit from having a nice big admonition warning against modifying files in any local.replset collection, as it can cause mongod instability and crashes.
