I would say yes, if we're going to do this. I don't see it being any worse than 
trailing commas.

If we are going to do this, we need to do it EVERYWHERE.

FWIW, the way I normally "work around" this problem is:

SELECT
    blah
    , foo
    , bar
    , baz

In my experience, it's quite uncommon to mess with the first item in the list, 
which mostly eliminates the issue. A missing leading comma is also MUCH easier 
to spot than a missing trailing comma.
