Why is react/prefer-stateless-function disabled?

[amilajack]

In many places, it seems like the eslint rule react/prefer-stateless-function is disabled. What was the reasoning for this decision? Personally, I think stateless components is one of the best parts of react because it emphasizes how the UI is a pure function of the state.

There is an issue with HMR working only with class based components. e.g. #590, #684 and #821.

I see. Thanks for clarifying.

Shouldn't react/prefer-stateless-function be disabled in package.json?

[gihrig]

There's an update coming (don't recall which package) that's expected to fix this issue. Disabling in package.json might lead to forgetting about it, but an open issue is probably a better reminder.
