[seqfan] Re: Inconsistencies in OEIS

[Charles Greathouse]

I can imagine nice with any of obsc, unkn, and uned. I've seen submissions
which were definitely nice sequences but which required large amounts of
editing; without the editing the sequence would have been nice and uned.
It's harder to imagine an obsc/unkn sequence being nice, but suppose the
supersingular primes were submitted (sufficiently long ago that they were
unknown), but with a tantalizing description hinting at moonshine. Not
likely, for sure, but probably not wrong by definition.

I might argue that probation is incompatible with core, though: we wouldn't
delete a core sequence, but that's the purpose of probation. But maybe
there's a scenario like the above I haven't considered.

I did think of another forbidden combination, though: full and more.
