As implemented, "non-replicated" means not replicated by iprop.  I
believe this was the intent.  Full dumps include the non-replicated
lockout state attributes, probably to simplify promoting a slave to a
master.  Currently, the only way to prevent kdb5_util dump from dumping
the lockout state attributes is by using a command line flag that is for
the internal use of iprop.

This seems like it could be either a documentation bug, or a design
flaw, depending on your point of view.  Is it helpful to have an option
to suppress the lockout state attributes from full dumps?  If so, why?

Thanks.
