Description

@Amxx suggested adding such a function to the Cairo version of the ERC165 module in case a smart contract stops supporting an interface after an upgrade. I'd like to open the discussion on whether such a feature would be desired.

I don't think i've seen much literature around smart contract interface compatibility across upgrades, so I'm not sure how such a feature would be received in the wider ecosystem. In Cairo-land at least, we're considering a massive interface change during network regenesis, where such a feature makes sense.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposed Cairo ERC165 change referenced in the linked pull-request comment and the network regenesis context. Determine whether deregistering an interface is desired for upgraded smart contracts; done would require a decided scope and an agreed feature specification, neither of which the issue currently provides.
