[IPython-dev] iPython 3 vs Jupyter etc

One silly question:

I've install iPython 3.0 Dev. (First let me say nice work folks, looks
great). I am still running Python 2.7 as my shell, and for analytics,
it's where I am comfortable. for Jupyterhub, it requires iPython 3.0
and Python 3.  Is that requirement only to run the hub itself, or will
I need to run all my iPython kernals as python 3 as well?  I installed
python3 with apt-get, and that was my next "step"
