 * `loadConfigFromGlob`: Function which expects a glob pattern and loads and merges all config files that match it.
 * `EnvVarLoaderProvider`: A config provider which loads the entries of the loaded config into env vars and always returns empty. Designed to be the first config provider in the pipeline.
 * `DottedAccessConfigAbstractFactory`: An abstract factory that lets any config param to be fetched as a service by using the `config.foo.bar` notation.
-* `ValinorConfigFactory`: A PSR-11 factory that lets you map arbitrary objects from arrays, using [cuyz/valinior](https://github.com/CuyZ/Valinor).
-
-    In order to use it, you have to register the object to map as a service, and the ValinorConfigFactory with static access using the service that returns the raw array with the data as the static method name:
-
-    ```php
-    <?php
-
-    declare(strict_types=1);
-
-    return [
-        MyCoolOptions::class => [ValinorConfigFactory::class, 'config.foo.options'],
-    ];
-    ```
-
-    It is useful to combine this factory with the `DottedAccessConfigAbstractFactory`.
-
-    The mapping will be done with cache if a `Psr\SimpleCache\CacheInterface` service is found.
