Although I now admit "legacy-trunk" sounds quite accurate, and conveys a clear warning to anyone wondering if they should use it.
To stay in tree terminology, I propose "stump" (*). Or "rotten-trunk". Bikeshedding is such a fun activity :-) Regards, Martin (*) m-w.com: "the part of a plant and especially a tree remaining attached to the root after the trunk is cut"
