I don't think that is true at all. Everytime a new housing estate is built
there are changes to existing highways, new roundabouts, junction changes,
etc. If you kept both the old and new in OSM it would be an editing
nightmare.

OpenHistoryMap is a great idea for a project and if it existed I am sure I
would contribute to it but I think mixing that data into current OSM is just
a bad idea.
