Description

The very first line no longer works:
using Flux, Flux.Data.MNIST
gives the error
UndefVarError: `MNIST` not defined

The MNIST dataset is now available from MLDatasets, but it seems like the implementation is different so it's not just a straight swap
This is in Julia 1.9.2, with Flux v0.14.5

Research direction

Open the neural networks notebook and reproduce the MNIST import error with Julia 1.9.2 and Flux v0.14.5. Compare the notebook's current loading code with the MLDatasets interface, then verify that the notebook can load MNIST and continue running through its existing neural-network workflow.
