Issue #8002 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

It does look like we've broken refresh, but honestly, I'd quite like to get rid 
of it.

Maybe we should send an RFC to the list to see if anyone can think of a 
**good** reason for it to stay around?

Bug #8002: `refresh` commands in execs don't match their described behavior

While looking at #6711, I discovered that the `refresh` attribute of `exec` 
resources doesn't work as expected. 

> #### refresh

Nope: Puppet will actually run both the main command and the refresh command if 
the exec gets a refresh event. The description suggests that the refresh 
command will replace the normal one in the event of a refresh, which would make 
significantly more sense. 

I can change the documentation to match reality, but this seems like a case 
where reality is wrong.
