Tony Noe said:
"Rabbits die, but not sequences.  Sequences end.  Sequences become
undefined... Let's be mathematical."

Me: I strongly disagree. The terms "birth" and "death" have
always been used in mathematics. (E.g. in game theory, number theory, etc.)

I see that Tony's comment has already resulted in
some changes to OEIS entries. I will attempt to undo those changes.
