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).
