No don't do the update, it will make you lose root and or just break your phone. Go over to xda and find a ROM with the update built in and flash the ROM if you really want it. Whatever you do though, don't accept the update from Sprint.
EDIT: To make sure you never accept an update from Sprint go to your settings>software update>and then I think it is HTC update or something like that, it should have an option to not automatically check for updates.

No, this was the second update that fixed Netflix after the GB update screwed it up. It was released a few days after the first one.

Well then theoretically he could update then reroot since Revolutionary can root in GB with the updated hboot. That said it seems like a giant waste of time since Netflix and GB are more stable in the GB ROMS anyways

It would take more time to unroot then update then reroot than it would to download and flash the stock rooted rom for 4.24. Only a couple of things changed and can be acquired by flashing the rooted version.
plus all of them roms out now have the 4.24 maintenance ota cooked into the rom. so you could just pick a rom like mig2.5 and flash it and you just got updated.

I would flash MikG 2.5 and call it a day. It is based on the 4.24 release but has Sense 2.1 included which will not officially come to the Evo. You will not regret flashing it.
go to the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/395962-guide-rooting-gingerbread-revolutionary.html. there is a flashing section with directions there.
