The history tables are populated even if the entity is being inserted for the first time. In other words the history tables provide a complete history of all data, the current tables are simply a snapshot containing the latest version of data that also exists in history tables. The osmosis replication providing daily/hourly and minute updates doesn't look at the current tables, it only looks at history tables. Therefore if you want your data to show up in mapnik, ti...@home, etc you had better populate them.
