Isn't there something wrong with a system that over and over again
downloads the same dependency from the Internet?  The whole point of a
cache is that everything uses it to avoid accessing the Internet.

Gradle has had a history of downloading the same dependency multiple
times for each phase of a build.  Now we have that Gradle is encoding
its own version as part of the signature of a dependency.  This seems
fundamentally wrong to me, but perhaps I am uneducated and thick as to
why a dependency that has no relationship to Gradle has to be treated as
being dependent on it?
