I'd argue than a condition flag in this case would introduce code bloat (declare, initialize, check in the loop construct) and decrease readability compared to a goto Label.

I agree that it typically would decrease readability, and thus wouldn't be advisable. My point was that readability is what we should be arguing, for the few places Go To is in fact appropriate, and not that we need it - even with performance constraints we basically don't.
