God knows we have been around this buoy several times in the past and never come to any agreed conclusion.

There are some places in the world where keeping it turning and burning is the most efficient and expeditious answer since a failure to restart would be a major problem for rescue.

Equally, there are some operations in some parts of the world that use this technique because it is easy - not because it is safe or proper but just because it is easy.

There is a sliding scale between these two points which is open to discussion - depends very much on your viewpoint and need to adopt such a practice.
