It's clear that A006906 and A000009 have the same parity.  But I don't
see how that makes A090864 and A118300 the same.

If you're sure that they are, A118300 should be given keyword:dead and
name "Duplicate of A090864." once the information has been added to
A090864: the definition of A118300 and probably a capsule proof that
they're the same.
