Source Integrity provides a way to remove change packages from active
use when they are not needed by discarding them.
Change packages can only be discarded if they are in the Open or
Rejected states. In order to discard a change package, that change
package must be both created by you and not contain any committed
entries. However, a change package administrator may discard a change
package created by another user.
