clang/llvm in pkgsrc is at 16.0.6.  Not sure what you mean "the update
to 16.x".

I have the impresssion somebody was thinking about updating in late
November or early December and I told them that was too scary right
before branch.  I continue to sort clang updates into "likely to cause
lossage" and thus needing PMC permission after 2/15 (says
/quarterly.html).

Of course, now it is mid January.

I see 17.0.6 in wip:
