when will nftables have ability to delete matching rule like iptables?

[Amish <anon.amish@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have few programs that currently use iptables to add / delete firewall 
rules.

I have been waiting to migrate to nftables from 3-4 years. (I do not 
want to use nft based iptables)

But roadblock for me is inability of nftables to delete a matching rule. 
(similart to iptables -D INPUT -s 192.168.1.10 -j ACCEPT)

Obtaining the handle first and then deleting is difficult programmatically.

Have I missed any easy way out here?

Why is it difficult for nftables to find and delete matching rule?

Is there any ETA for this?

Curious to know,

Thank you,

Amish.
