Remove outdated installation warnings#7814

I would say maybe move them, rather than remove them, or at least add your explanations for historical context. Re-reading them still triggers my PTSD 😄 and while I'm not sure how effective those warnings are, I'd be surprised if we'd seen the last of such issues. So, it would be nice to have a documentation link handy to use in such cases. That said, it probably doesn't need to be the first thing folks read anymore. |

I definitely remember juggling installs/uninstalls for the first one but it just cannot happen anymore: ❯ pip install pil
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pil (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pilFor the second, I don't recall anyone tripping up over And I also don't recall any for the third. There are many results for If someone tripped up over it, we would have told them to do |

FWIW |

Probably can just move them to here: https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/deprecations.html |

Yeah, that'd work. Updated! |

Cool thanks |
I think we can remove the three warnings from the top of https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html
I seem to remember that around ten years ago, it used to be possible to install PIL from PyPI.
It used to be that PyPI would allow installing files hosted elsewhere, but now all files must be uploaded to PyPI, and there are no downloadable files at https://pypi.org/project/PIL/.
I don't think it's possible now to install PIL and Pillow at the same time, even if you tried installing PIL from source.
https://pypi.org/project/pillow/1.0/ was released in 2010. I don't think we need to warn about this any more.
https://pypi.org/project/pillow/2.1.0/ was released in 2013. I don't think we need to warn about this either.
