‎(apologies if this has already been mentioned but) perhaps this is something 
that makes sense for OpenHistoricalMap?

Ask a help question along the lines of "how do I add time-dependant data to 
OHM", perhaps clarifying that the ways for previous years are in OSM but are 
deleted, and I'm sure someone will pop up and explain how.

Cheers, 
Andy

OpenStreetMap focuses on things that are on the ground, not things that
were or will be on the ground.

There are some exception to this, for example there are tags to map
things that are "planned" but don't yet exist; this is not encouraged
for widespread use but might be applicable to Burning Man.

For maximum flexibility independent of OSM's old-fashioned adherence to
physical realities, I'd suggest to set up your own instance of an OSM
server together with editor(s) and rendering tool chain, which would
enable you and anyone interested to make the most detailed Burning Man
map ever, and even retain the full data base from every year, offer
side-by-side rendering and whatnot.

Bye
Frederik
