IIRC, the issue with this was that the Python meaning is pretty unintuitive (but sometimes useful) and having this syntax but having it mean something else (more intuitive) seems like causing unnecessary confusion for people coming from Python, hence the lack of movement. Arguably, the Python meaning is less confusing to express with gotos and labels.
