What are the advantages and disadvantages over DataDeps.jl?

How would the MNIST implementation look like if we were to move to DataSets.jl?

DataDeps mainly handles the "download and cache the data into my local disk" task, while DataSets aims to provide a declarative and programable interface to load existing data.

If DataSets.jl hasn't provided downloader support yet, then we still can't use it here. Last time when I checked oxinabox/DataDeps.jl#144 it, DataSets hadn't provided Downloads.jl intergration.
