 ## Utilities
 
-[Margin utilities]({{< docsref "/utilities/spacing" >}}) are the easiest way to add some structure to forms. They provide basic grouping of labels, controls, optional help text, and form validation messaging. We recommend sticking to `margin-bottom` utilities, and using a single direction throughout the form for consistency.

 Feel free to build your forms however you like, with `<fieldset>`s, `<div>`s, or nearly any other element.

-Block-level help text in forms can be created using `.form-text` (previously known as `.help-block` in v3). Inline help text can be flexibly implemented using any inline HTML element and utility classes like `.text-muted`.

-Help text should be explicitly associated with the form control it relates to using the `aria-describedby` attribute. This will ensure that assistive technologies—such as screen readers—will announce this help text when the user focuses or enters the control.

 - Dropped `.form-row` for the more flexible grid gutters.
 - Dropped `.form-inline` for the more flexible grid.
 - Dropped support for `.form-control-plaintext` inside `.input-group`s.
-- Dropped `.form-text` as existing utilities cover this use class's former use case (e.g., `.mt-2`, `.text-small`, and/or `.text-muted`).
 - Dropped `.input-group-append` and `.input-group-prepend`. You can now just add buttons and `.input-group-text` as direct children of the input groups.
 - Form labels now require the `.form-label` class. Sass variables are now available to style form labels to your needs. [See #30476](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/30476)
