We know that React developers are focused on shipping products and don't have time to look into every new API that's being released. Hooks are very new, and it might be better to wait for more examples and tutorials before considering learning or adopting them.
We also understand that the bar for adding a new primitive to React is extremely high. For curious readers, we have prepared a [detailed RFC](https://TODO) that dives into motivation with more details, and provides extra perspective on the specific design decisions and related prior art.
