You skill will not rot if the code base is old and bad, your attitude does. It's just not your conform zone, it's ok to avoid it, but you will learn a lot if you don't. Spend some time to understand the business logic of the legacy code by doing code review, debugging...etc. and see if you can improve it by back porting the new technology, there's always room for that.
