I removed these numbers from the updated PEP because I felt the PEP was getting heavy on the “weasel” factor by trying to be “well if you look at it X way, the impact is A, if you look at it Y way the impact is B”. I’ve included the numbers from 10 months ago below, but if we think this numbers are useful I can redo them now again.

Maybe what we need is a special case rule that's similar to the ones discussed already, except where if people try to install PIL then instead of printing an external repository url, it prints the URL of an explanation of why they want Pillow instead...
