Compound assignment operators for boolean

Why compound assignment operators for booleans like "&&=" or "||=" are not defined in JLS? Is there any particular reason, or were operators just inherited from C/C++ ?

If such operators were defined, they should have the same meaning as compound assignment operators like "+=" or "*=", that is,

boolean b =true;

b = b ||false;

should be equivalent to

boolean b =true;

b ||=false;
