We can't upgrade to Gradle 5 unfortunately, not until Kotlin is packaged
(#892842). This will be a key issue in the next development cycle.

If it's just the Gradle dependencies it's doable, and the severity of
the bug can be downgraded because the issue only appears if the
dependencies are rebuilt. If the issue also appears when project
dependencies use Java 11 this is a more important issue.
