Currently the notebook assumes that one notebook is associated with one and only one kernel. There are some reasons why we might want to relax this assumptions. The main feature would be to allow a notebook to connect to an already running kernel - one that was started outside of the notebook. There is a PR #1220 that implements this. It's particular implementation is too simplistic and it is not clear if/how we would provide this functionality. This issue will serve as a place to discuss this.
