I see you left in the name change to `ErrorLoggingUtility`. I was hoping you'd revert that along with the other changes to this file, since they are now unrelated and make the PR much larger to review. Yes, I know it's a mechanical change, but I find it hard to see what has "really" changed now.
Suggestion: revert the name change to this utility, since it is no longer relevant.
