Markus raises a good point, I would add that if there is a risk at some 
point of breaking the existing packages after upgrading a dependency, 
then introducing a new package for the updated dependency is the way to 
go. We can deduplicate the dependencies later when the transition to the 
newer Gradle is complete.
