Will upgrading to Python 3.x on my system break Sage?

I want to use Python 3.2 for some other things, but I know that Sage does not work with Python 3.x. But I also know that Sage comes with its own version of Python. So can I upgrade my system's Python and let Sage use it's own Python 2.x? Will this happen automatically?

A side note: The barriers to using Python 3.x in Sage, as listed on the FAQ page, are SciPy and Cython, however recent versions of both now seem to support 3.x:
