I suspect the main problem is that in 2007 we didn't really have a lot
of data so rendering tiles or it is really not such a big issue.
However 2010 and later would require per point in time a rather
largish rendering DB plus space for tiles a model that neither scales
nor would seem to be a particular good use of resources.
You could mitigate that in the future by making a copy of the current
tileset at a fixed point (1st of january for example).
But I agree that it would need quite some space for a gimmick. But with
Seagate announcing 16TB drives and prices of drives dropping steadily, I
assume this argument will be laughed at in 5 years time.

My poor little tile server machine doesn’t have the storage for
that, but it would sure be cool to set this up for more points in
time. The server itself is not hard to get up and running, although
I did find the instructions on switch2osm to be out of date. I
followed the instructions here:
https://www.linuxbabe.com/linux-server/openstreetmap-tile-server-ubuntu-16-04.
The only extra step was to download osmosis 0.35 and convert the 0.5
planet to 0.6. For older planets you’d need to come up with a way
to convert 0.3 / 0.4 planets to 0.6. There is a script to convert
from 0.4 to 0.5 but I don’t know of anything that can handle 0.3
planets.

Any chance we'll see some middle version there too in the future?

Hi all,
I resuscitated the OSM then and now service, where you can compare
OSM as it was in October 2007 with now.
The service is a bit slow because 2007 tiles above z10 are not
pre-rendered. This will improve as tiles get cached.
Here is the location of SOTM 2016 as an example:
