I'm willing to bet that you are now on 8.04.1 and didn't even realize
it!  Take a look at /etc/lsb-release on your system.  Here's mine:

	DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
	DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
	DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
	DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.1"

8.04.1 is still Hardy, so tracking hardy will get you the new point
version.

The interesting thing is that now direct upgrades from Dapper are
advertised and supported, so you can just "sudo do-release-upgrade" on
your Dapper servers, and Dapper desktop upgrades will go straight to
Hardy instead of going to the now-unsupported Edgy release.
