It's a good practice on a *discharged* capacitor (because some of the charge remains)..It is interesting that when caps are shipped the caps leads are generally shorted. Large capacitors are also shipped like this. If this was a bad practice why would they do it?
It's not a good practice on a *charged* capacitor.You could just as easily hook a 1K resistor across the cap, which would work for both charged and discharged, but wire is cheaper and easier.
