+- `[*]` Use `graceful-fs` directly in every package instead of relying on `fs` being monkey patched ([#9443](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/9443))
 - `[expect]` Prints the Symbol name into the error message with a custom asymmetric matcher ([#9888](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/9888))
 - `[jest-circus, jest-jasmine2]` Support older version of `jest-runtime` ([#9903](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/9903) & [#9842](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/9842))
