I'm not sure making image private or downgrading to community sharing is
the right concept for this.

I agree with community sharing. I think being able to distinguish between
public officially supported provider images and public, but not supported
by cloud provider is definitely needed.

However - retiring/hiding/archiving/deactivating (pick your term) outdated
public or community image (especially when it has known vulnerabilities) -
is part of managing image life-cycle vs. image sharing that
public/private/shared/community addresses.

There is another bp that seem to be very similar to this idea, but it
focused on disabling download rather than hiding image:
