The antecedent of "it" in the email is not "nroff sources" but is "my
nroff sources".  The RFC Editor still uses nroff, they just
(reportedly) don't use nroff sources that people submit (mostly
because people like to use macros and the RFC Editor doesn't trust
macros as different versions of the macros can create different
results, and they want to be able to recreate the exact bits of a
given RFC).
