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.

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.

It's still in preview.

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.

Worked here - but required a restart of Win7, which was unusual.

I would, but I only install it for the C++ build tools really... VS Code and CMake FTW...
