Hello, and thank you for your pull request. I'm sure many will be happy to be able to delete topics via topicctl and we appreciate your contribution.
After some deliberation, we've come to a consensus that the changes to make the repl mode write-capable do not fit the design goals at this time. It is something to consider in the future but it would make more sense as a part of a larger comprehensive overhaul rather than a singleton use case.
Could you resubmit without the repl changes?

This asks for confirmation without verifying it's an existing topic which can be confusing. In the interest of taking every step to confirm safe operation, can you add a check here that a topic of the given name exists prior to asking user confirmation?

I don't see any other obvious resource types a delete function would be applicable to - did you have something in mind?
