All :term:`capped collections <capped collection>` now have an ``_id``
403+
field by default if they exist outside of the ``local`` database. This
404+
change only affects capped collections that using 2.2 and does not
405+
impact existing capped collections.
406+
407+
Additionally in :term:`replica sets <replica set>`, :term:`secondaries
408+
<secondary>` will create indexes on the ``_id`` field for capped
409+
collections.

:issue:`SERVER-4546`
411+
By requiring an ``_id`` field, and creating ``_id`` indexes on
412+
secondaries, MongoDB prevents situations where the absence of a
413+
``_id`` field can cause problems for replication.
