Description
If we rename mail to defaultMail in that example, I think the component's behavior makes sense. And this pattern also has no conflict with Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 both. Even it's more convenient, because we don't have to update id or key when passing a new default value.
In fact, this pattern doesn't cause any new problem.

Research direction
Start from the documentation example titled "Erasing state when props change" and compare its wording with Alternative 1 and Alternative 2. Review whether the example should use defaultMail and whether calling the pattern an anti-pattern is accurate; done means the example and guidance reflect the agreed terminology.
