When 10.0 was still in beta, and this feature was first being talked
about, a friend of mine once raised a concern about the security of
this feature. You would only need to write an app that had a malicious
version of that framework, and anyone who had the app on their machine
could have other applications start doing malicious things.
Maybe that is why they have not implemented the feature.

Anyone know if/when shared frameworks were deprecated?
I think deprecated is an appropriate term in this case. Yes.
Support for it is not present in 10.1 or 10.2. Not sure about 10.x,
but I'd not count on it.
You can embed frameworks for your own application to use within the
wrapper. If you want other apps to access frameworks, then you need
to use ~/Library/Frameworks or /Library/Frameworks or one of the
other supported search paths.
FWIW, you can still use SharedFrameworks to store your embedded
frameworks in the app bundle, and the app finds them without any
problems. That's where I currently place those that will be used by
my plug-ins, saving the Frameworks folder for any app-private
frameworks I might come up with. Never checked or changed the
searchPath order, or anything else as far as testing it...
