Do we really need to refactor while(true) loops? Sometimes it's a coding standard and most of the developers has got used to this structure. If you have to think hard on how to refactor this code, are you sure it's a good idea to refactor it?

Goto used to be a black sheep in coding standards. I've met algorithms where goto made the code much more readable and shorter. Sometimes it doesn't worth to refactor (or better to use goto).

On the other hand you can avoid while(true) most of the time.
