In fact, putting them in OSM isn't just damaging to OSM, it's damaging
to OHM. At the moment, OHM is a bit sparse, there are some well-mapped
areas but there are some pretty big blank areas. What it really needs
is a group of enthusiastic contributors, who are knowledgeable about
history and want to see it mapped. Putting the historic counties into
OHM would be a huge boost for it, it would make OHM much more useful
for genealogists, fans of listed buildings, ancient monuments, old
railways, etc. And there are plenty of those. That in turn would drive
more users of OHM, and more contributors, thus helping to make it even
more useful.
Until OHM has all of the current history available in parallel with
'extra' data it's not worth spending any time on. I want to see where
historic changes fit around the current state on the ground so I work
off OSM ... and will until all that data is available in OHM ...
Then get involved and put it in OHM.
