Is metadata/local.meta deployed by the shc deployer?

[taldavita]

Made changes to search/metadata/local.meta that need deployed to search heads.

search/local/app.conf contains
[shclustering]
deployer_push_mode = local_only

When I stage/send from the shc deployer,  after a rolling restart on the  sh captain search/metadata/local.meta remains the same as before the push.

Does the SHC deploy metadata/local.meta?

Did you even get an answer to this? I've found that the local.meta is only send to the Captain and should sync to the members. Which does not happen for me. Seems that the replication for local.meta is not in the /default/system.conf. Wondering is adding the stanza to the local/system.conf would solve the isssue. But I'm not sure which stanza we would need then.
