For all themes using our vip-init loader, we’ve pushed a change that will automatically load vip-helper-wpcom.php in all environments. The file contains functions to relate to specific plugins, filters, and actions that are enabled across all of WordPress.com.
This means that you no longer need a function_exists check or a custom fallback when referencing these functions.
If you run into any issues, please let us know.
WordPress VIP Lobby 
After updating, I am getting this: wpcom_vip_load_helper_wpcom() should only be called on WordPress.com as it contains WordPress.com-specific code.
I don’t have that anywhere in my theme. Any ideas?
Sorry about that; should be fixed with another
svn up.
