Unfortunately ICANN is backlogged and so the 2016g tarballs have not yet been published on the iana.org <http://iana.org> website.
I'd imagine we'll always be somewhat dependent on them as long as they host the official "blessed" tarballs, but if there's any way we can reduce/minimize the necessary work we need from them to issue a release, we should try to do so. Even a weeklong backlog, as we've seen here so far, will start to become aggravating for users.
I think github has mechanisms for uploading binaries (such as blessed tarballs) as part of a release. -- -=( Ian Abbott @ MEV Ltd. E-mail: <abbotti@mev.co.uk> )=- -=( Web: http://www.mev.co.uk/ )=-
