I helped with one of the core issues being addressed (the "value" attribute)[0]. At the time, it looked like a small "beginner" issue, but clearly was touching on some important design decisions. I am glad to see the core team take a fresh look at these decisions and using this time to clear out technical debt. This maturity is certainly good for React.

Thanks! We appreciate any help. When doing changes to a part that interfaces with a platform API it's often difficult to forecast what will work out and what wouldn't. I actually made a spreadsheet a few days ago to track all merged PRs that were relevant, and which issues they fixed and broke. Only after that it became clearer in retrospect some decisions didn't really pan out and we need to walk back on them.
