https://gradle-community.slack.com/archives/CA7UM03V3/p1760124221741589 My company used to checkin the gradle revision to our github repository. Gradle would be part of our CircleCI github download, i.e. our bandwidth cost. That was gradle 6.0.1. We moved to gradle 8.x. The download zip exceeded 100M. It is too large for a standard checkin. Now each of our CircleCI builds downloads gradle 8.11 against gradle's bandwidth cost, not ours. I suggest this might be a cost problem/opportunity to gradle.org.
