Gentoo Linux stable (will be the next 2007.0 release) currently ship
gnome 2.16.1 and always the latest release on testing/unstable. We
probably will skip 2.16.3 since we plan to add 2.18.0 in time (currently
we have the beta/rc on a separete repository) so we can stablize it
fast. 
But there's always a possibility to stablize 2.16.3 if it fixes most of
the bugs we have opened because we have the policy to not ship 3rd party
patches and push all bugs to upstream.
