This was removed after this discussion: #2185 (comment)

I didn't see a justification for re-adding it, so I want to make sure this isn't slipped in with little consideration.

Yes, should have explained this addition based on offline conversations.
The reason for removing phenotype directory was that it would presumably appear in the raw dataset. But isn't that true for derivatives directory as well? It's a bit confusing having derivatives part of all three DatasetTypes but enforcing phenotype only be part of raw or derivative. In practice, phenotype data curation is likely to be more independent than that of derivatives, which is one of the reasons we prefer it to be at the top level.
