Not that I can speak on Allesandro's behalf but I'm presuming it's a reference to the save-upon-stop behaviour that may occur as a consequence of the integration performed by certain distro vendors. For example, Gentoo has a SAVE_ON_STOP option that its iptables runscript honours. I'm not sure that I've ever seen it be referred to as a good pratice, per se, but some people appreciate having such options at their disposal.
