@@ -223,10 +223,6 @@ Currently, the `@compat` macro supports the following syntaxes:
 * `select`* functions (`select`, `select!`, `selectperm`, `selectperm!`) are renamed to
   `partialsort`* (`partialsort`, `partialsort!`, `partialsortperm`, `partialsortperm!`) ([#23051])
 
-* Math constants (`π`, `pi`, `e`, `γ`, `eulergamma`, `catalan`, `φ`, `golden`) are moved to the
-  `MathConstants` module (available as `Compat.MathConstants`).
-  The name exported from `Base` for `e` is changed to `ℯ`. ([#23427])
-
 * `IntSet` is now `BitSet` ([#24282])
 
 * `strwidth` and `charwidth` are now merged into `textwidth` ([#23667]).
