I still think that's referring to the 32-bit machines. I'm a buildd
admin for those ports and the machines on this site and I'm not aware
of problems with the 64-bit machines, and I don't get Nagios messages
about them having gone down/back up, like I do about the armhf/armel
hardware. Perhaps they are happenning but I'm not on the right
alias/list so don't see them? I thought I was getting all monitoring
messages for machines on this site

So if there is an issue there we have a communications problem as well
as a hardware problem. I'm sure we can get new arm64 buildds if we
need them.
