I am sure every aircraft out there will have its own procedures and reasons for doing stuff that is unique. With that said, I can only speak for a SAAB 340B. We have no requirement to feather before shutdown. You may notice the engine feathered during taxi because we are using that engine to provide HP air for air conditioning. The only requirement in respects to shutting down our engines was a 2 minute cool down after operating the HP air.
