Assuming that the dates in that ticket refer to 2021 (I see only months and days, not years), I don't recall any discussion taking place with the community about it, so that seems to me like a surprising explanation. After all, if GotoIf(), ExecIf() and While() are "deemed to be of interest", and therefore exist, why would a simple If() be deemed not to be of interest? And, taking it from the other point of view, even if many people genuinely think "meh, I don't think I'd use this", then surely they just avoid using it, as I suspect the majority of people do with DumpChan() (for example, to take a pretty obscure, yet still available, command at random). In short, what's the drawback to making If() available for those who would use it? Personally, I would very much like to see an If() statement made available.

Re: [asterisk-users] Exec two commands with ExecIf
The dialplan is a very complicated config file. It is often repetitive and ugly. Don't expect it to work like an actual programming language. If you want that, use an AGI. In this case, just call it an "Asterisk-ism" and move on. You'll find plenty more of them.

[asterisk-users] Exec two commands with ExecIf
Hi, I didn't see any documentation for this so I assume it can't be done but I figured I would check here first. Is there any way of using ExecIf to run two commands instead of 1? e.g. instead of Exten 123,1,ExecIf($["FOO" == "BAR"]?BackGround(you-owe)) Exten 123,1,ExecIf($["FOO" == "BAR"]?SayNUmber(100")) I would ideally like to do it in one line.
