If it does not happen in a supported version, certainly. Now, Hardy is
quite old (but still supported for the server), so it is highly
probable that the code base has changed so much that any bugs there
might not be code-compatible anymore.

No, desktop bits are not supported. Rule of thumb: if it is in the ISO,
then certainly is supported. Otherwise, if it is a typical server
application, it is supported.

I am not sure here. But it stands to reason that upgrading to Hardy
would not be supported.
