I haven't noticed Nagy Vilmos in quite some time. Did he run out of Gin or just move on to other pursuits?

So now is the time to buy shares in Gordons and then hack a bank?

Let Donnie the Trump build his wall and nothing from Mexico will ever get to Alaska again, so this is really no question. Don't make a groan pitbull out of a chihuahua.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

And would a hot dog be an Alaskan husky in Mexico?

VS 2017 15.9.7 update is ready for me to download and install.
Should I do it?
50/50 chance that I may want to put my head through a wall when this is all over. 
|
|
|
|

why? Is there anything really important in it that you absolutely must have?
particularly if you are developing apps for your company/clients: are they on the very latest version too?
if it's just for your own playing around sure go ahead,
but if you want to do anything serious [for other people including open source] stick to what's most used.

We try to stay as current as possible with the incremental builds for VS. I was just being funny.
I am going to update.

Why?
Newer in not always better. And most often filled with bugs.

Sure, why not save time and just put your head through a wall, but open the window first.

FYI - I installed that version and had no problems. Wasn't bad. (Disclaimer: YMMV  )
Also, why aren't you on 2019?
Actually, you should probably wait because the interface has been "modernized" and it isn't the greatest. 
You can do a side-by-side install if you don't mind eating up a ton of extra space on your drive though. I only moved to 2019 because you cannot do .NET Core 3.x without upgrading.

I know. Better get it soon, before it's obsolete.

The current release date for VS 2019 is March, so what's available is a preview, nothing I'd use for production work.
I don't upgrade in the middle of a project, and rarely before the first service pack is released.
Riding the bleeding edge used to be fun, but I suffered enough blood loss to be light headed. These days I let others do the bleeding ...

Give them a few days and see if they push out a new version to fix any problems in the update

Only a 50/50 chance? Aren't you being a little light on that?
Man, the last time I updated VS2017 it fragged almost EVERYthing.

Ya, you might be right. It's probably closer to a 70/70 chance.

Oldboys have probably heard about the IBM 360 mainframe series. One of the logos used in the 360 days was a circle, with a radius extendig a little outside the circle (looking like a old style potentiometer knob, but nowdays frequently used to mark an on-off pushbutton).
Then came the IBM 370 series. So what did IBM choose as a logo for the 370? A bigger circle!
Acutally, they didn't replace the 360 circle with a bigger 370 circle, they added the 370 circle around the old one, touching where the radius hit the circle(s).
They didn't use this logo a lot; I suspect it was mostly created as an inside joke, but I have come across it a few times in old documentation.
