I'm curious.  What features do you need that pil doesn't have?  Other
than updating pil to fix bugs, support new image types or new versions
of Python, what kind of active development do you think it needs to
have? Maybe pil has all the features the original author wanted and is
pretty stable.  To judge a package on how fast it's changing seems a bit
odd to me.  Obviously you want to know that bugs can get fixed of
course.  Perhaps none have been reported recently.
