In my practice I use relations for every route, but leave ref on the ways for signed routes. For roads these are motorway and "Bundesstraßen" (mostly primary) in Germany. While checking e-roads in Germany I came across a relation which was empty. Viewing the history failed because of a timeout from the API (history too large). Luckily the ways still had int_ref so restoring the relation was easy. What other chances are there to retrieve older versions of relations other than JOSM/osm.org? I read something about overpass.
