Oh. I did a cleanup of the files in there, and, among various
duplicates, also removed 4.16. Maybe it was too soon :)
I'll see if I can get it back, - don't want to rebuild it without
changing anything.
But I really suggest you to move to 4.17 or 4.18. 4.16 is basically
end-of-line already, - only security issues will be fixed. 4.17 is
already in the same mode (not counting some LTS efforts for it here).

Seeing how samba upgrades goes these days, I'd say it's okay to
stay at current release, at least after .1 is out :)
