Comment (by iandunn):

 [attachment:40702-geoip.5.diff] replaces the upgrade routine with a
 temporary hack to clear the transient. This achieves the same goal, but
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RQBWTW/p1495150030480467 is
 better UX because it doesn't trigger an upgrade screen]. Props @pento for
 the idea. #40815 will handle the removal of it for 4.8.1.

 The upgrade routine doesn't need to deactivate the old feature plugin,
 because the plugin has a `noop` routine. Deactivating it in the routine
 was just an extra safety net, but should not be needed in reality.
