Any "large" distribution will tend to package GNOME too which requires 24,
and for smaller ones it seems they could just bump the version.  I often
look at OE, it looks like there they have polkit here:
https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded/tree/master/meta-oe/recipes-extended/polkit
which then uses:
https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded/tree/master/meta-oe/recipes-extended/mozjs
which is just 17 at the moment, but I'm guessing it's the only user,
so they could just bump to 24 too.
