It's happening daily in OSM when contributors remove buildings or roads traced from obsolete aerial imagery or imported data for instance and are no longer existing or replaced by something else "on the ground". It's never done "for fun" but with the intent to have the most accurate and up-to-date map data of the world. I'm talking here as a contributor who doesn't want to edit dense areas with e.g. all buildings and roads since Julius Caesar mixed and overlapping on my preferred editor, even with filters. I've seen the wiki proposals about tagging ruins and other historic features which are still present and that is perfectly "legitimate". I also understand why some people would like to use the OSM tools chain to collect and display historical data but, as already mentionned, it can be done into another database.
