The newer

ResourceTransform

appears to give programs a lot less ability to introspect resources compared to the deprecated

ResourceTransformation

. For example, the old

ResourceTransformation

gives you the instantiated resource directly, so I'm able to walk up the resource tree to get to the parent, allowing me to add a tag to the child resource with metadata about the parent. In comparison,

ResourceTransform

doesn't give any info about the parent nor let me take advantage of any of the clever class-related shenanigans I can do with TS/JS, which is sorta the draw for Pulumi for me. I'm nervous to continue using

ResourceTransformation

despite it being way better for my use-case because of the scary deprecation warnings. I understand that

transforms

receives something much closer to what the engine itself sees which is nice in some cases, but it kills a lot of the flexibility imo. Is there actually any chance of

Transformations

going away any time soon? I guess it's probably possible to abuse

pulumi.runtime

commands to get the actual resource and re-enable that behaviour, but I don't particularly want to go down that route yet...
