In principle, omitting changesets covering the entire map viewport sounds like
an interesting idea. These changesets usually require to be looked at
separately anyways. When verifying recent activities, one is in any case forced
to look at the map using all sorts of zoom levels. Eventually, larger
changesets are going to be included.

This suggestion disconnects entirely from requirements of average contributors.
And judging from the smiley, I doubt this was meant seriously.

Admittedly, the *same* color would have been a worse choice, but this cannot be
an argument for keeping a poor choice of colors. Removing some red in the
orange rendering the color more yellowish would probably be enough help for
color-blind people (like myself). I don't understand the "color noise" issue -
this recent update fundamentally relies on three sufficiently different colors
in order to maintain useability of the history functionality altogether. It's
not about map rendering, it's about detecting map changes.
