+      <para>
+        The <productname>Python Imaging Library</productname>, or  <package>PIL</package>, has been replaced with <package>Pillow</package>,  an actively maintained fork, which also offers Python 3 compatible modules. <package>Pillow</package> is a drop-in replacement for <package>PIL</package>, except that importing modules now requires
+        <screen>
+          from PIL import &lt;Module&gt;
+        </screen>
+        syntax instead of simply
+        <screen>
+          import &lt;Module&gt;
+        </screen>
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        This change does not break backwards compatibility with the legacy PIL. Documentation is available at <ulink url="https://github.com/python-imaging/Pillow/" />
