This is part of the general issue of how to deal with Snakemake changes. Having dug down into the Snakemake code, I can say that the newer rerun triggers do not (at least a few months ago did not) actually work as advertised, and as Ezra noted in #36 there is some feeling in the community that detecting this set of changes is over-complex and problematic.

So I'll accept this PR for now but really I need to see if the course should be running with Snakemake 7 and if so what else in the course needs to change - probably not much structurally but a bunch of little details and sample outputs.
