There are some reasons, the first of them rather imperative.
. Documentation of GNU projects should be in texinfo format. Amen.
. groff.texinfo is just a reference. It is not meant as an example
how to do nifty things with groff. As that, the format is really
of no importance -- I would really like to see the UTP to be
extended to cover groff features, as mentioned already.
. There is no equivalent to the `info' program for groff input since
no good groff2texi converter exists.
