The consistency is helpful for gauging Gitian build progress. Right now it's necessary to remember which platform builds in which order, which can be confusing if you're attempting to get a quick idea of how far along your builds are.
I've written a script that automates the setup and building of binaries with gitian. All of the commands are pulled from various documentation on gitian building.

28482efefb15dc2c273a52b96d1aceb995db4968 Ugrade Qt depends to Qt5.9.4 (Sebastian Kung)
Pull request description:
With the introduction of Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) modern versions of gcc and mingw that allow cross compilation of versions of Qt greater than 5.8 are now readily available. This pull requests upgrades the Qt depends recipe from Qt 5.7.1 to Qt 5.9.6. Qt 5.9.x is the current LTS version and should be supported by Qt until 2020.

This reverts commit 15e26a6a9a, whose
purpose was to tweak the Qt configuration to force TLS, i.e., to
disable SSLv3, in Qt versions >= 5.5. However, the default behavior
of Qt >= 5.4 is to disable SSLv3 anyway [1], so the configuration
tweak is redundant.
With Qt 5.11.2, the configuration tweak is not only redundant but in
fact provokes a deadlock (#14359) due to Qt 5.11.2 being incompatible
with OpenSSL 1.1.1 [2]. Since the deadlock occurs at the early startup
stage of bitcoin-qt, it renders bitcoin-qt entirely non-functional
when compiled against OpenSSL 1.1.1 and Qt 5.11.2 (and possible future
combinations of OpenSSL and Qt versions).
This commit fixes#14359 by removing the redundant code.
