So are we going to have gradle 4.8 in either experimental or unstable soonish.

I'm sure you may have read the freeze time-table which was shared few days ago.

It would be nice to have all the components in debian tested etc. well
before freeze.

Hope to see the new releases of gradle, openjfx and rest of openjdk 11
dependencies so we have a java 11 transition if need be before hard
freeze comes up.
