I'd imagine drivers for lots of custom hardware that will never leave the datacenters.

But drivers for custom hw are easy to rebase. They are quite self contained.

It is when you get into kernel internals that rebasing continuously becomes a challenge. Some parts of the core Linux kernel don't change often, but I imagine many other parts see significant churn.
