for (;;) should count as a constant condition

See original GitHub issue

for (;;) is functionally equivalent to a constant condition so it should be caught by the constant conditon rule.

One other possibility I could see is to remove the for (;;) exception by default, making it a flagged constant condition, now that we have the loop exception option. However, that would be a breaking change.

Thanks for your interest in improving eslint. Unfortunately, it looks like consensus couldn’t be reached on this issue and so I’m closing it. While we wish we’d be able to accommodate everyone’s requests, we do need to prioritize. We’ve found that issues failing to reach consensus after 21 days tend never to reach consensus, and as such, we close those issues. This doesn’t mean the idea isn’t interesting, just that it’s not something the team can commit to.
