The underlying dependencies (OS, libraries, runtime, compiler, etc) slowly get out of date.

Out of date dependencies can be seen as code rot, regardless of quality/state of the actual code.

(Not saying that it should be rewritten because of that, but I do consider outdated dependencies to be code rot.)
