A number of folks have reported hearing the following from UA folks
I went back and found Pat 89339's original post which appears to reference info from a September '16 family day. United has made statements since then that the 787's will receive Polaris whenever they're due for heavy maintenance checks, which begin for some aircraft in 2018. This was discussed previously in the thread in mid-February and references this article:

The airline will retrofit its 787-8s and -9s with Polaris as they come up for heavy maintenance checks, says Walter. These occur roughly every six years with the first 787 due for a D check around 2018, she adds.
Anybody have additional insight? Guessing we'll find out for sure in 2018.
