Huh? Certainly infinity isn't an integer/real/rational/etc, but there
are consistent and sensible definitions for "number" which include
infinity(s) (I'm pretty sure you're aware of this, so maybe I'm missing
your point?).
Of course infinity is *also* used as an abstraction (as in the case with
limits you mention), but this doesn't mean that in other cases you can't
use it as a perfectly fine number.
