Debian Squeeze LTS or whatever they call it doesn't w/o backports.
RHEL6 doesn't have it w/o epel (RHEL7 has 24.3 IIRC).
RaspberryPi doesn't have it.

I'm still falling over Emacs 22 in various forms and Emacs 23, where it
is standard is not always at the latest version (23.4).

I've been doing a lot of this compat stuff, but I gave up since I
couldn't get ERT to work on XEmacs.  Org did build (with lots of errors)
until some point and it was at least superficially usable.  The two
XEmacs users on this list have never responded to any requests for
further testing.  So I guess that XEmacs can be considered
unsupportable.

If you were hoping to get rid of compat, then have a look at the warnings
on Emacs 25.
