 ## Unreleased
 
+### Enhancements
+
+-   Refactor internal context proxies implementation ([#64713](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/64713)).
+
 ### Bug Fixes
 
 -   Prevent calling `proxifyContext` over an already-proxified context inside `wp-context` ([#65090](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/65090)).
