Any chance Lilypond 2.16 will be accepted in Fedora 17 ?
You need to talk to the/a Fedora Maintainer to get them to package it. No one as far as I know who contributes to the LP project does this actively. I'm not that technically savvy on this topic, but I seem to recall that because of LP's use of Guile 1.8 and not Guile 2.0 that it caused some headaches (they are not (very/at all) backward compatible) for another distribution package maintainer.
It looks that the soon to be released Fedora 17 will still have guile 1.8.8, due to compatibility problems with for example Lilypond:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678238which should give the Lilypond developers some more time to work towards guile 2.x
