This stubborn wrong-headed notion that you ever want to modify a
revision once it's been created needs to stop. You don't. Whatever
you're trying to do can and should be done in some other way. Usually
by committing a new revision that changes the offending thing again.
I might agree if I didn't sometimes myself cheat with my private
archives.
I cheat infrequently enough and under such limited circumstances that
I don't personally miss any built-in support for it but if such support
were cleanly provided I probably would and might even use it more often.
I think a good way to avoid going off the deep end of adding crazy,
half-working bloat is to first relate the design problem for
archive retractions to the old, under-explored area of client-side
workspace management features. (I.e., having arch keep track of
where and what all of your project trees are; of which are your private
and which public archives; etc.)
