Comment (by swissspidy):

 Theoretically, deactivating the plugin would be as simple as this (inside
 `upgrade_440()`):

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 if ( defined( 'REST_API_VERSION' ) && version_compare( REST_API_VERSION,
 '2.0-beta4', '<=' ) ) {
         deactivate_plugins( array( 'rest-api/plugin.php' ), true );
 }
 }}}

 However, I just installed a previous beta on a local 4.3 site, updated it
 to trunk and immediately got a fatal error.

 Deactivation needs to happen earlier, e.g. in
 `wp_get_active_and_valid_plugins()`, as can be seen in the attached proof-
 of-concept. I don't really like that method though.
