They are supposed to work, but make sure to fully backup your data
(PostgreSQL databases, Django media files - if any - and GeoServer data
directory) before proceeding, as suggested in the document.

That would not help, as we will provide migration scripts from 2.0 to
2.4 but not from 1.2 to 2.4 unless someone will volunteer for that
kind of tool. Therefore moving from 1.2 to 2.0 first is the way to go.
