If you create a clone of just your drive, don't do what I did once and end
up with two drives with the same UUID and wonder where your recent
recording have gone after an unexpected reboot.

Maybe not for Myth, which has always been well behaved for me during
upgrades, but Ubuntu has frequently wasted my time especially on a front
end.

Another alternative according to http://www.mythbuntu.org/repos would be to
go to 10.04, then to 0.25, then to 12.04 and finally to 0.26.

But as Mike says, you should probably just go for it and just have the
potential pain of fixing stuff once. Especially if you are working on a
clone and can roll back if you run out of time.
