When I rerender a component with "defaultChecked" or "defaultValue" react fails to update the "value" and "checked" attribute accordingly.

Before you say "use a controlled input" I would argue that this is a bug as it basically disallows uncontrolled forms with "reset" buttons. (It will always reset to whatever the initial default value was).

case 'audio':
      case 'form':
      case 'iframe':
      case 'img':
      case 'link':
      case 'object':
      case 'video':
        var listeners = this._wrapperState.listeners;
        if (listeners) {
          for (var i = 0; i < listeners.length; i++) {
            listeners[i].remove();
          }
        }
        break;
      case 'input':
      case 'textarea':
        inputValueTracking.stopTracking(this);
        break;
      case 'html':
      case 'head':
      case 'body':
        /**
         * Components like <html> <head> and <body> can't be removed or added
         * easily in a cross-browser way, however it's valuable to be able to
         * take advantage of React's reconciliation for styling and <title>
         * management. So we just document it and throw in dangerous cases.
