I am aware that Arch is just packaging up the binary release artifacts
published by the gradle project.
But that's just never going to fly for fedora.
Arch is also the only distro I looked at that does this, everybody
else (at least debian, ubuntu, OpenSUSE) is stuck at an ancient
version, if gradle is available at all.

Now try doing that offline and without using the pre-built
gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar :)
You'll be surprised how much junk the build process still needs to download.
Do we need a two-step bootstrap process? A first (offline) step where we run
gradle-wrapper and fetch all the resources, put all online dependencies into a
SRPM/lookaside cache and "finish" the bootstrap build in Koji (giving us a
bootstrapped version which works) and then replacing _all_ assets with versions
built using the bootstrapped gradle and finally rebuilding gradle?
It'd be hell to set up the first time (two .specs?) and hell to make sure we
get every package at the right version. But theoretically possible? :-)
But it might allow us to skip incremental bootstrap from a really old gradle
version and might even get us a process which works for future bootstraps.
