Symfony recipe and .env.local #2586

Hello, I'm a bit confused.
The .env.local file is used to locally override the values of the .env file. The .env.local file is added to the .gitignore because I want it to stay local and not versioned.
Why then is it added by default to the Symfony recipe and therefore I also find it on the production server after doing a release with deployer?
The file should remain local, because that's what it is for.
