Workaround(s)
Enable the ability to access command history from previous powershell sessions. This would be similar to the functionality of any UNIX shell in that command history is persistant between shell sessions and is not lost on log out. Typically history is limited by the HISTSIZE env param with a default value of 500.

It is interesting that the work around listed is from 2006 - that is also the link that I found when searching and also the one provided by @jongalloway in response to my question on this topic. Are customers not asking for this?
