Dropping a release from (public) Maven Central

A while ago I released a new maven package, accidentally adding my employer company as <organization> into pom.xml. I've been asked to replace these packages if possible.

Staging releases can be dropped. Documentation does not mention any process for taking down releases. Before I submit a support ticket, is there an official way to do this? Is it even possible?

Maven Central is treated as immutable, and thus, this is not possible. This is done in case someone has begun to rely on your package. A great real life example of why this is important is the removal of leftpad from npmjs.
