That depends on the bearing and on the time involved.

I've known people who put AUTOMATICS IN NEUTRAL at a stop.

Never mind the time lag, never mind the shock-loading on the drivetrain 
getting back into gear...

The modern start-stop crap...there's gonna be vast numbers of vehicles 
scrapped because ring gear wear.  Not to mention they're just crap to 
drive that way.
