@@ -54,9 +54,6 @@ Currently, the `@compat` macro supports the following syntaxes:
 
 * `isnothing` for testing if a variable is equal to `nothing` ([#29674]).
 
-* `@compat finalizer(func, obj)` with the finalizer to run as the first argument and the object to be finalized
-  as the second ([#24605]).
-
 * `range` supporting `stop` as positional argument ([#28708]).
 
 * `hasproperty` and `hasfield` ([#28850]).
