Removing a package from a changesets monorepo

[holic]

We have a monorepo with many packages that have been using changesets for releases. We recently migrated one of the older packages to a new one and have deleted the old package.

However, changesets doesn't want to release because the now-deleted package is referenced in prior changesets MD files:

error Error: "red-turkeys-develop" changeset mentions a release for a package "@latticexyz/network" but such a package could not be found.

If I add the removed package to ignore, I get:

The package or glob expression "@latticexyz/network" is specified in the `ignore` option but it is not found in the project. You may have misspelled the package name or provided an invalid glob expression. Note that glob expressions must be defined according to https://www.npmjs.com/package/micromatch.

It sounds like a workaround might be adding the package.json back in with private: true, but we'd like to avoid cluttering the monorepo with empty packages. It also sounds like we could remove references to @latticexyz/network in all changesets, but that feels wrong too, since it would muck with our changelog/history of changes.

How should I remove a package from our changesets pipeline so we aren't continuing to publish it?
