The current version of Gradle in Ubuntu (Pop!_OS for me) is some 4.4 release ... which is from December 2017. Yes, 9 years old!
I get the idea of "stability", but this is far beyond reasonable. It's great that I can build ancient software with this still today, but I can't build anything even somewhat recent.
So my `~/bin/` keeps piling up more and more stuff because of this.
