A feature

What is the current behavior?

No warning is raised in the following snipped:

import React from "react";

export default class TextFields extends React.Component {
  state = {
    name: "Before timeout"
  };

  componentDidMount() {
    // emulate loading some data with AJAX
    setTimeout(() => {
      console.log("Updating name after timeout");
      this.setState({
        name: "After timeout"
      });
    }, 100);
  }

  render() {
    return <input id="name" label="Name" defaultValue={this.state.name} />;
  }
}

What is the expected behavior?

I believe we have the opportunity to raise a warning in development. It would inform users they can't update the defaultValue property. This problem was raised to my attention in mui-org/material-ui#11150.

Which versions of React, and which browser / OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of React?

React 16.3.2
