I hope this is a late April Fools joke… Although, that might be my CS teacher talking x) she ALWAYS drummed into us that goto statements and “spaghetti” code was bad. That probably makes me biased since I’ve never been able to (or wanted to) use goto statements I can’t really think of a need for them.
The goto statement will allow inefficient and verbose recursive algorithms and explicit loops to be replaced with more compact code.
The effort will be a success if at least twenty five percent of the JDK’s explicit loops are replaced with goto’s. Coordination with IDE vendors is expected to help facilitate this goal.

Lots of jokes in the RFE ;D
I love the comment about GOTO in the book “Code Complete”
“Nine times out of ten when you want to use a GOTO, Don’t! In the remaining 10% nine times out of ten you don’t really need it. In the remaining 1% of cases think VERY carefully before you use a GOTO.”
