Will updating from 12.04 to 14.04 break my power pc installation?

I have successfully installed Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity to work on my Powerbook 1.67 GHz G4. I am aware that support will run out next April for 12.04 but it is working really well with my hardware. The updater is now prompting me to upgrade to 14.04 but I know that this hardware is not supported in 14.04 with Unity only Server, Lubuntu or Mate. My question is what would happen if I choose to update? Will it break my installation? If so how? Will I still have CLI so that I can install Gnome or another GUI?
