For something like this, where there is very limited overlap between
past and present, it makes sense to use a separate database. But in
cases where most of the features still exist, such as railways or Roman
roads, it's silly to duplicate the effort between databases (or somehow
require everyone improving a way in one to upload it to the other and
fix all intersections).
