I agree with Andrew here -- we don't want to hamstring our ability to change the data just because some people would rather take a version in place of the latest version. If we have an rc option sampledata.fetch : False then the sampledata function would only look in the sample data dir, get the file if available, raise otherwise. If fetch is True, it would always go the web first and check for the latest, get it and cache it. Then the packagers could download the tarball, unpack it, and not worry about mpl trying to check for a more recent version.
