Python now has an annual release cadence in October, but the EOL dates haven't yet synced up: Python 3.7 will be the last (EOL: 2023-06-27) until they're also aligned to October.

cycle latest release eol
3.10 3.10.0 2021-10-04 2026-10-04
3.9 3.9.7 2020-10-05 2025-10-05
3.8 3.8.12 2019-10-14 2024-10-14
3.7 3.7.12 2018-06-27 2023-06-27
3.6 3.6.15 2016-12-23 2021-12-23

That means if we tie the major bump Pillow 9->10 to the Python 3.7 drop (not guaranteed but most likely), then that will be in the 2023 Q3 release, not 2023 Q1.

And so we have until 2022-07-01 to deprecate new things, for them to have 12 months of deprecation before removal in Pillow 10.
