 ### State Machine Breaking
 
 * [\#10536](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10536]) Enable `SetSequence` for `ModuleAccount`.
-* (x/staking) [#10254](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10254) Instead of using the shares to determine if a delegation should be removed, use the truncated (token) amount.
 * (store) [#10247](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10247) Charge gas for the key length in gas meter.
 * (store) [#10218](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10218) Charge gas even when there are no entries while seeking.
 * (x/auth)[\#9596](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/9596) Enable creating periodic vesting accounts with a transactions instead of requiring them to be created in genesis.
