I (sadly) promoted a CL like that a couple of weeks ago. GOTO for a
RCVF loop, no subroutines, just disgusting.

This brings up an important point ... why change something that's working?

Don't get me wrong ... I'm all for improving existing code. But changing
something that isn't in scope is just introducing unnecessary risk.
