As I reported, it is branded as fc16 from @updates.

I had to delete these:

# rpm -e subscription-manager-firstboot-1.0.3-1.fc16.i686 subscription-manager-gui-1.0.3-1.fc16.i686 subscription-manager-migration-1.0.3-1.fc16.i686 subscription-manager

They all came from fc16 @updates.

As has been pointed out, this package isn't part of the default F17 or F16 releases, but a quick check of the Fedora Packages list shows that this was pushed out
 to F16 Updates a couple of days ago, and an earlier update was pushed 
on the 9th June.  Since Fedora is more or less compatible with the concurrent release of Red Hat, I'm guessing this was originally made available through Fedora Extras so either Red Hat binaries could be tested on Fedora and/or the Red Hat web system management tool be used to administer Fedora systems.

When a package in Fedora Extras gets updated, it gets the same announcement email and a file in the updates section of the directory tree as a package included in the base distribution, but unless there was a package dependency issue yum should NOT have installed this on its own.  Did you perchance install some additional packages from Fedora Extras or Fedora Accounce recently?

PS.  I'm not a number either! :)
