Turn off IS and camera for storage

Just a generral rule, reminded in every manual: lenses with IS, you have to turn off the camera before unmounting , it will lock IS motors

I heard that Canon said to turn off the IS on the lens to park the moving IS parts.  That this should be done prior to long term storage or for shipping.  Rumor?
