Comment (by Collin Anderson):
A few advantages:
If for some reason you can't or have trouble installing pillow, everything
else will work fine. It makes django a bit more "lightweight" to have the
dependency be optional.
Loading Pillow increases memory usage by 5% (2mb) (in my quick testing)
for a runserver on an empty project:
37608kb without loading pillow
39768kb with loading pillow
Also, doesn't matter quite as much, but running "check" also takes about
5% longer (25ms) on an empty project for me when including pillow:
360-400ms without loading pillow
393-424ms with loading pillow
