https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.artifacts.repositories.IvyArtifactRepository.html
 still shows `patternLayout` to be incubating. Gradle doesn't have an excellent 
track record for finishing incubating API's (e.g. 
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/11640). 
Hence, I think it is indeed safer not to switch from a deprecated API to an 
incubating API (and as a result, split the PR so that the `layout` --> 
`patternLayout` is not included for now.

I don't have a very strong opinion on this though, so if you want to keep the 
changes, I don't object that.
