Initially I wasn't OK with this but given the approaching deadlines I
think this is our best option at this point, to have a separate groovy2
package. BTW, this is almost done because since many months ago I
maintain a package for groovy 2.x branch in experimental.

I just raised the voice on this gradle/groovy situation because 
after my groovy 1.8.6-2 upload gradle is not working anymore and
I'm looking for more eyaballs on this issue.

Getting groovy 1.8.6 working again is needed to advance with groovy2.
