I'm not very original, but I agree with all of the points Sima made. I'd rather "floruit" not be used at all. "Active" (while not an option, bizarrely) is a lot more easily-understood. However, if we must have it, then I reckon it should be restricted to infobox-usage.

I think "floruit" (how do you even pronounce that, by the way?) should also be restricted to when neither the DoB nor DoD are known, though. Like with La Volpe. I realise this probably limits its by a ton, but I genuinely see no issue with "unknown" being substituted for a single date.
