Once we do, yes. However, it's R8 that uses this file, not Gradle.

EventBus is not distributed as an Android library (AAR), so that won't work.

But we could embed them using a meta-inf file similar to https://github.com/objectbox/objectbox-java/commit/92f3cd54a40ebea753886c480ef4c0094743e8ca

If proguard rule is embeded in META-INF directory, can gradle build system refer to this file?

This proposal is necessary because it is in step with The Times. Hope the official adoption update!
