Description

I'm guessing componentWillUnmount isn't called. Would a fix be to listen to componentDidCatch, splice the array as in componentWillUnmount and then rethrow the error?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how componentDidCatch can be used to clean up mountedInstances when an error occurs during mount in React v16.
