Yes, moving forward to mozjs24 remains a good medium term plan. Primary 
because js 1.8.5 and mozjs17 need to go. The motivating reason for part 
of this has to do with how many versions of mozjs need to be maintained 
(particularly for 48 & 52bit VA). Since intel is now expanding the 
x86-64 VA as well, I suspect they will start to care too.

Thanks,
