I won’t even bother to look for rationale after that decision, I can bet it looked like:

- should we add goto support in PHP?

- no, it’s bad!

- yes, it’s useful when you don’t abuse it!

- if you can’t code without goto, you’re pathetic caricature of programmer

- real programmers KNOW how to use goto properly

And so on for 5000 posts…

At least they added some small advice from xkcd on their goto manual page…
