"Repeat for ___ secs" blocks
No Support. It would cause problems, like this:
repeat for (2) seconds {
wait (20) secs
} :: control

Support, the workaround hardly ever works, and putting wait 20 seconds won't run at all, plus, if the time runs out in the middle, It just will skip the last bits, or at the top, well skip the whole thing, why, there are no reliable workarounds,

No support, you are just making a seconds version of the repeat block, you can tell others to avoid turbo mode and you can set this:
... :: hatAlso, isn't this rejected?
repeat (() * (30))
...
end
...

"Repeat for ___ secs" blocks
I'm getting real sick and tired of people saying “No support, there's a workaround.” Very rarely does a block get removed because of a workaround. so rare in fact, that the only instance of a block getting removed because of a workaround that i am 100% sure happened is the forever if block. even then the extremely simple workaround wasn't the only factor, apparently users didn't understand it either. and because a block has a workaround DOESN'T mean it shouldn't be added. so if you could kindly read this, that'd be great.

If you have a very accurate fps variable you could do this:
reset timer
Repeat ((fps) * (# of seconds))
...
end
set [fps v] to (timer)

Here's a workaround:
set [parameter v] to (timer)
repeat until <(timer) = ((parameter) + (. . .))>

Sorry, were you expecting a signature introduction? Too bad! (Press Shift+Down on a part of this signature to read more!)

Your suggestion is virtually perfection in my eyes.
You barely need to improvise.
Full support.
Mostly support.
Semi-support.
Barely support.
No support.
Negative support.
I see your suggestion as a war crime.
This is the worst suggestion in existence.

This would just wait 20 seconds. Why no support because of one special case? No Support. It would cause problems, like this:repeat for (2) seconds {
wait (20) secs
} :: control

Well, I'm kinda not really sure. I think that it is similar to forever if: It's not completely clear what it does. You can find it out pretty easily, but it's not totally obvious that it's just a repeat until kinda thing, not that it stops executing when the time is over. So, I guess, overall rather no support.
Joke of the century: Just made a good remix of this with Scratch's music extension.

I agree with this idea. Although there is a workaround, it's a hassle to implement. Plus too many variables gets confusing and annoying to manage.

That workaround is way too easy. And, really, I don't know a single programming language with something so weird. Why can't you just check the time? And where would you use it?

kindly read the post below. That workaround is way too easy. And, really, I don't know a single programming language with something so weird. Why can't you just check the time? And where would you use it?
has a workaround DOESN'T mean it shouldn't be added. so if you could kindly read this, that'd be great.and the ambiguity of the forever if is not replicated with this. I'm getting real sick and tired of people saying “No support, there's a workaround.” Very rarely does a block get removed because of a workaround. so rare in fact, that the only instance of a block getting removed because of a workaround that i am 100% sure happened is the forever if block. even then the extremely simple workaround wasn't the only factor, apparently users didn't understand it either. and because a block
repeat for (10) seconds {
wait (20) secs
} ::control
would wait 20 secs.
repeat for (60) seconds {would repeat everything in there until 60 secs has passed. if the script execution time exceeds 60 secs, the script inside would only run once.
...
} ::control
