Hi Domimic, In my view, code should vendor in the gradle version needed for the build, via gradle-wrapper or some other means.
Coming from that approach, I thought it isn't that much useful to install old, legacy versions of gradle system-wide (at least I never wanted to do so). But it does not bother me to keep this package on AUR, not at all. I will cancel my deletion request shortly.

So IMHO this package isn't "unneeded".
