Add a better Contributing guideline about create-react-app HOT 3 CLOSED

For "Try to make the least controversial choices" - I think we need to go a bit farther, and say, if the community is split between N different tools, then we won't just pick the least controversial, the tool itself should be agnostic between them. Like installing redux by default would be less controversial than installing mobx by default but that doesn't mean we should do it.

@gaearon Would it be reasonable to assume we want to include this content into a CONTRIBUTING.md? Or would we want to go with the Wiki page route?

Yes.

Agree.

Yes. Also worth noting that we are only currently interested in solving build problem, not runtime dependencies. We leave you with React and let you be (for now).
