Is your feature request related to a problem?

fusion compose provides a very easy way for composing a subgraph into a package. Doing it in CI is extremely helpful and useful!

However, there is no way to remove a subgraph from the package.

In a distributed system with multiple subgraphs, when one service gets deprecated, it should be possible to remove its subgraph from the final GraphQL schema.

The only workaround that I have found is to somehow figure out what subgraphs and of what versions contribute to the final package and re-compose all of them from scratch (minus the obsolete one).
But it feels uneasy, error-prone and laborious, for the same reason as why fusion allows to compose one subgraph into an existing package instead of always requiring the full list of subgraphs for every composition,

The solution you'd like

something like:

dotnet fusion remove -p <path-to-package> -s <name-of-the-subgraph-to-remove>

would be super handy.

I ran into the same issue just last week.
My solution was to create an empty schema for the subgraph I want to remove and pack that into the gateway package.

Was this resolved by #6584, or is that different?
