It was new in 2.7 so you'll need to update. F16 still has 2.6 but if you
can't update to F17 (which has 2.8.2) now you might find that Niels
Philippsen's gimp unstable repos for Fedora allow you to use a somewhat
newer version:

There are updates to the F16 packages from earlier this year but I don't
know how usable they are at the moment.

Building later gimp for earlier Fedora is tricky due to it depending on
newer gegl and babl packages.
