I'm currently looking into implementing/integrating proper nftables support into systemd which is possible now since nftables has a proper client library to talk to the kernel. If and then when that work completes ( based on how well it goes and my free time ) distribution should be able to drop iptables and the legacy sysv initscript along with it chose they to do so.
