And IMHO, a good thing.  PIL/Pillow need not be so special as to make claim=
 to
so much of the top-level namespace.  Of course, there's the backward
compatibility problem to deal with, but this is the right long-term change.

I think that Matthias would like to just swap-in Pillow for PIL in Debian a=
nd
Ubuntu.  This gives application the additional opportunity to more easily p=
ort

One thing that would be helpful would be to review my merge proposal for th=
at
bug, to see if there are any other top-level modules that should be exposed=
 by
the PILcompat.pth file.  The current set is described in Matthias's comment
here:
