After a discussion on IRC this makes more sense. Since subscribe/ notify are metaparameters they control when resources are run, but the exec parameter 'creates' will still override that. That's rather unfortunate for my use-case, though. I want an exec to run until a file has been created or whenever a config file is updated. But that's not quite perfect, so maybe this will force me to fix things more!
