Note that Fedora 17 is due roughly at the end of May, but we select our 
version of glibc (and other tools such as gcc) fairly early in the 
process.  Fedora 17 will be using glibc-2.15 + patches.

If glibc-2.16 hits the streets in ~June, then it would be included in 
Fedora 18 which will be churning through its development phase in June.
