In MVC 4 your controller action method is async and that's the only framework-facing change to make. That's how it should be

Feature branch when it's (relatively) long lived & speculative - i.e. lots of commits, may have to discard if it doesn't work.

That's hard. But being aware of what you're feeling, where it comes from and who not to take it out on is a good first step.
