I just thought I'd drop y'all a note to let you know that I've tested it, and it appears to work just fine.
I know the online documents for SQL 2014 said "no breaking changes", but we've been around long enough to take that with a grain of salt, have we not? 8)
As always, YMMV, so test for yourself, but I had no problems. Install, create the xp_ndo extended procedures, restore the database, and Bob's your uncle.

While what you tested may have worked, that's irrelevant in terms of a production system. Until Microsoft test and says it works, then it officially don't work and will not be supported. "Supported" is a key factor with production financial systems.There are no bugs - only undocumented features.0

Oh, I'm well aware of the process by which Microsoft decides what is and is not supported. I worked there for almost six years in SQL Server support, and in that time I spoke to dozens of folks running production systems that were "unsupported" in one way or another. That's why I chose my words as carefully as I did in the original post.
I'm not advocating a mass in-place upgrade from SQL 2008/2012 to SQL 2014. I'm just sharing a result.0 -
