It was public, it is still provided, and it does return YES. In other words, if you use current versions of the framework, it returns what you'd expect. If you are using an older version of the framework and never upgrade, the framework itself was coded to look for whether the prefpane existed on disk and return that as the result; the convenience method in older frameworks is basically just a 'does this file exist in this location' check. As Growl is no longer in the same place on disk that it once was, that implementation in older frameworks returns NO.
