Gradle 4.5 was even built with snapshot versions of itself [1], that's a 
nightmare from a bootstrapping perspective.

Maybe jumping to recent and stable Gradle/Kotlin releases would be 
easier, but does that even exist? Is there a couple a Gradle and Kotlin 
releases that can be used to build each other (and themself).
