Describe the issue:

Updating defaultValue of an uncontrolled component doesnot update the value in input. This causes issues in forms with a reset button or some form of external updates. I suppose simialar issue happens with defaultChecked or any other defaults in other components.

React had a similar issue in their native components which was fixed. facebook/react#4618. This issue has a lenghty discussion on possible ways to fix it for their native input component.

Actual behavior:

Changing default value of Textfield should change the value of input.

Expected behavior:

Changing default value of Textfield doesnot change the value of input.

If applicable, please provide a codepen repro:

http://codepen.io/bunny10245/pen/WjrVxp . Open the codepen in debug mode, in chrome, with react developer plugin, to see that although props of Textfield gets updated, the props of react input element doesnot get updated.

I would also be interested in a solution - all workarounds I currently employ are pretty ugly...
