 ### Removed
 
 * Removed ITrackedInteractor, as it was supporting an unused codepath and there are better ways to get this data (like querying the attach transform). [PR #1044](https://github.com/MixedRealityToolkit/MixedRealityToolkit-Unity/pull/1044)
-* Removed FindObjectUtility, as it was a backwards-compatibility layer for pre-2021.3.18. Since our min version is now 2022.3, we can just call the API directly. [PR #1056](https://github.com/MixedRealityToolkit/MixedRealityToolkit-Unity/pull/1056)
 
 ### Deprecated
 
 * Deprecated IHandedInteractor, as its info is now queryable directly from IXRInteractor's handedness property. [PR #1042](https://github.com/MixedRealityToolkit/MixedRealityToolkit-Unity/pull/1042)
+* Deprecated FindObjectUtility, as it was a backwards-compatibility layer for pre-2021.3.18. Since our min version is now 2022.3, we can just call the API directly. [PR #1058](https://github.com/MixedRealityToolkit/MixedRealityToolkit-Unity/pull/1058)
