Fedora 17 packages Lilypond 2.15.29 currently.  In my understanding,  
it means that the maintainer believes that a new stable version of  
Lilypond will be released before or shortly after Fedora 17.  I'm sure  
Lilypond 2.16 would be packaged quickly once it's released because,  
the maintainer is betting that it will be.

I tried the version packaged in Fedora 17 on one of the scores and  
found it utterly broken (bogus barchecks everywhere), so I upgraded to  
the git version of Lilypond.  But I would gladly use 2.16 at least on  
some systems once it's available in Fedora.
