It's just you. The commits still exist and that's all that counts.

Linux 32-bit builds are still supported, even in Qt 5.10. We don't create

The build is not broken and nor is the tag.

Those have never been part of any Qt release. That's why they are still 
"master".

I still use Perl, all the time. I don't use init-repository.

Try using git submodule init && git submodule update instead.
