i don't think we have an answer here just yet, as per the issue. Would love to see a PR!

Just as an idea, I was thinking about having something like

sudoedit

or

git rebase -i

for state, when one would be able to rename or delete resources in the state, many at a time. Additionally, Pulumi could detect that a resource parent has changed and give the above prompt/edit to confirm reparenting.
