People can build their own images with updated packages whenever they want.
In a few months that's probably going to be better than grabbing the
release version anyway. The ks update will be in F16 by then, so they won't
have to modify the ks file unless they want to for some other reason.

If you want to host your own iso images that include updated packages and/or
ks used to generate the iso, that will probably work for helping people
that don't want to run livecd-creator. (Though you need to be careful about
GPL compliance.)

Given how easy running livecd-creator is, I'd suggest just prominently
documenting that at a level appropriate for your audiance.
