Not obvious how to 'un-release' a revision

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

I have a snap which has been built for amd64/i386/armhf. The armhf & i386 versions are broken and are un-fixable. I would like to remove them from the store.

There is no button to press in the store, and no option to snapcraft to 'un-release' the broken releases, but allow the amd64 version to remain live.

I could be mistaken, but I don't actually think that's possible. I seem to remember that question being raised before, and the answer was "just re-release an older revision".

Yes, "just release an older version" is fine if you actually want something released in that channel, but if you want to yank a version from the store, you basically can't.

The workaround is to use `snapcraft close` the stable channel for the broken application for all archiectures, then `snapcraft release` to re-release specific versions in working architectures.
