+1 to this, but I feel like we need to tackle some issues with not being 
able to easily select unpromoted packages on that screen.  Currently if 
you have ~6000 packages and 5 of them are not promoted, you may have to 
scroll through 5000 just to find some that aren't.   Either some sort of 
filter to only show unpromoted, or simply just only show unpromoted if a 
'promote' changeset is selected.  We may not need to tackle the issue as 
part of content deletion, but I would argue its a serious enough of a 
problem to tackle in the more short-term.
