I synced our fork with the upstream yesterday, so our fork officially contains the 0.19 code. It's not published yet though. Assigning to myself to publish our react-native-web fork when this comes off HOLD.

This is a big move but a good one. A lot of refactoring might be needed as many things have been changed https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web/releases/tag/0.19.0. Happy to help if needed.

We had a couple of VirtualizedList fixes from #12054 included in 19.2 🎉
