Are there any plans to address a lot of the usability issues around state? (See this ticket: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/8450#issuecomment-1009519047 , amongst others.)

Sounds like possibly three requests: 1. Mark a resource as immutable such that any change causes a replace 2. Mark a resource as to be orphaned on replace rather than deleted (Presumably if you removed the resource from your program it would still do an actual delete? If yes then I think an option something like orphanOnReplace or forgetOnReplace makes sense, if no then "*OnDelete" or "doNotDelete", "undeletable". 3. Allow state delete to prune the targeted resource from the dependency graph. I think for safety you'd want this to be an extra option like --transitive-trim or something.
