Seems to me that 'while not done:' is no better than
'while True:', because in both cases you have to look
inside the loop to find out what the exit condition
is.
Using a more meaningful name for the flag can help,
but you can't teach someone that just by giving them
an overly simplified rules such as "never use
while True:". They'll probably just replace it with
'while not done:' and think they've improved things,
without ever really understanding the issue.
