The POM is meant to be current state, not history. We actually only record the versions in the repository, and if the SCM tag is populated in the <scm> section of the POM for each released version you can reconstruct the information. There were other issues with putting history in the POM: forgetting to add it, getting the right level of information when you work on multiple branches, and similar things.
