We already have two classes of RFCs, the early ones that primarily
exist as PDF scans, and the later line printer format ones. Two and a
half if you consider the Postscript ones where the line printer format
one is just a stub telling you to look at the Postscript.
History suggests that if we switch to some more modern format, people
will re-code some of the existing ones into the new format, but the
existing versions of existing RFCs will remain canonical. I don't see
this as a big deal.
