I wouldn't remove PIL support in imshow immediately, either, but I think
deprecation should be OK. Since Image->numpy conversion is now happening
through the array interface, I don't think there's much call to support
PIL directly anymore. We should make the deprecation warning give the
appropriate hint ("In the future, 'imshow(pil_image)' will not be
supported. Use 'imshow(np.array(pil_image))' instead. Note that you may
need an origin='upper' keyword argument for the latter case.")
