Hi,

If it's so important to you and you don't need any new feature that
you may receive with the upgrade, I wouldn't do it yet. You have
maintenance guaranteed until 2017 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases)
as 12.04 is an LTS.

On the other hand, you shouldn't have any problem with the upgrade
process, but there's no zero risk in this things.

Josep
