Older changesets are clickable unless covered by those large nuisance chagesets 
when they are inside the sidebar viewport. I'm not sure if changesets that 
cover the entire map viewport should be hoverable/clickable, but on the other 
hand there has to be some indication that they are intersecting the map view.

There's also an opinion that [changesets outside of the sidebar viewport 
shouldn't be shown at 
all](https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/better-osm-org-a-script-that-adds-useful-little-things-to-osm-org/121670/105).
 In this case you wouldn't see any older changesets.

Orange and orange are even more similar. And again there's an opinion about 
"color noise", that is colors being too different.
