As the util project now contains subprojects the existing filtering no longer works as expected:

subprojects.findAll { !['util'].contains(it.name) } 

Doesn't filter out util subprojects. In build.gradle this logic was updated to:

def utilProjects = project(":util").allprojects
def coreProjects = subprojects - utilProjects 

This filtering should also be applied to deploy.gradle
