Confirm enable-instant-extended-api flag exists as of latest Chrome stable

google-chrome

As the title states, does chrome://flags/#enable-instant-extended-api still exist as of whatever the latest stable build is.

I know this question is rather easy to answer. All I'm looking for is simple verification as a comment towards the bottom of an answer of mine claims it has been removed in the latest stable build:

With the latest stable build – this solution (and those linked) no longer work. I did manage to find a work-around though.. Check out my answer below. No extensions required.

I'm not concerned currently with dev builds and can confirm that, for me, the flag does not appear in Chrome Version 34.0.1810.0 canary.

Oddly enough, the flag still appears in Chrome Version 32.0.1700.102 m which, as far as I can tell, is the latest stable build. I also cannot find any confirmation that the flag has been removed outside of the dev channels.

So again, can anyone confirm that this flag does/does not exist in the latest stable build of Google Chrome?
