Description

### Name of the resource

Other

### Resource name

DeletionPolicy

### Description

Currently if resources that are defined with a `DeletionPolicy: Retain` are removed from the template, the change set created shows them as `Remove` and not `Retain`.

Requesting the change set to show them as `Retain` instead.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like examples of the same.

Thank you in advance.

Research direction

The issue concerns AWS CloudFormation change sets and resources using DeletionPolicy: Retain; no files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by investigating how change sets classify resources removed from a template, and consider the request complete when retained resources are shown as Retain rather than Remove.
