https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/pull/9645 detects 17+ which is not ideal because we're planning to release 16.x, 15.x, and 0.14.x releases with the new JSX runtime included. Ideally we should instead look at whether react/jsx-runtime.js exists.
We need to do some work on this anyway (for Jest support), so we can make all of these changes at once.
@iansu I can pick this up tomorrow if that's OK with you?
