Once a signature has been added via addSignature, there is no convenience method to remove the signature.
Removing signatures is helpful when a transaction has a signing account that has a large keylist with many thresholds. If all signatures added to the transaction result in a transaction too large to submit, then only the minimum number of signatures required to make the transaction valid should be added to the transaction.
Also, if a signature is added, the owner of the key might decide to revoke the signature. Without recreating the transaction and re adding all the signatures, this is not possible.
Solution
Add remove_signature(publicKey/signature) method
Add remove_all_signatures() method
These two convenience methods will be helpful to remove signatures as needed.
