You still have the choice between making your code readable or not.
- For the ones that want to make their code readable: allowing homonymous 
labels doesn't prevent them to make it readable.
- For the ones that don't want to make their code readable: preventing 
homonymous labels doesn't prevent them to make their code unreadable.
So I don't think it's a good think to limit the possibilities of the 
language just to limit the possibilities of some users to make weird codes.
For me, this return is a good thing.

 I think the problem is not with our own code, but with others'.
