Does installing kernel 4.13 on Ubuntu 12.04 change the update policy?

Question

I know that Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is no longer getting app updates and security updates.

If I update the kernel to the latest 4.13 ATM. Does that change the update policy or is it strictly based on the OS version and not the kernel?

The policy is based on the OS version and not on the kernel version.
