Live people
Does the Family Tree, at some point, mark Deceased a person that was created as Live? Is there an age that a person is automatically declared dead? While I try to limit it, I have created some Live people. I'm now thinking, if I'm the only person who can see them and I never enter a death date they can't just live on forever taking up space.
So, does the Family Tree ever make Live people visible to everybody?

If the profile is for a person who is a member of the LDS Church, their profile will be edited to deceased when reported to their local church. For the rest of us, our profiles will remain

And I think that's fair enough. We would be poor researchers if we relied on someone else's research as the only means to create a profile.
Also, if I create someone in my private area I may very well keep them as "living" even when they aren't, simply because releasing my (say) aunts and uncles seems rather different from releasing my 4-greats aunts and uncles. Especially if those aunts and uncles have their own children still alive. It's neither my role nor my right to release their data, even if it's by default of it being over 120y (say) after their birth.

And to nitpick just a bit - the Tree doesn't do anything. We are the keepers of the Tree, and it reflects our input. There is no grand keeper of the Tree. There are millions of us contributing to it.
