Not sure what you mean by "non-blocking", since there are no differences
between the two in Merlin. Both will result in a activation timeout if not
returning.
The only difference, AFAICT, is that the component author need to replace
public void execute()
with
public void stop() { }
public void start()
IMO, a reasonable request for an upgrade of MAJOR version.
