hardcoding what? what are you trying to debug?
Read what 'require' does. Require is not a conditional branch, it makes
ordering explicit.
Exec with onlyif is one way you could get the behavior, or an if condition
with a custom fact would. There might be another way too.
I believe all of those idioms are going to be clumsy and hard to manage.
What is your end goal?
