rv-manda-01 is running again, 2 questions:

1. Is rv-manda-01 now stable?

The problem seems to have gone so far, has anything be fixed
(or was it rebooted and that was sufficient)?

2. Rebuild of potentially broken packages.

I would like to do "Rebuild on non-flaky buildd" binNMUs of the
984 packages that were built on rv-manda-01 before my previous
email, because these packages cannot be trusted.[1]

Example:

iraf-mscred and iraf-fitsutil do FTBFS with weird errors on several 
buildds, after looking at the iraf-fitsutil error my first suspect
would be that cfitsio was built on rv-manda-01.

cfitsio (or some other package) having been built on rv-manda-01 might
or might not be the root cause here, the problem is that we cannot rule
it out and people might waste time debugging if it is.

Opinions/Objections regarding me scheduling the 984 binNMUs?

[1] technically anythng built/statically linked with such a package
    can also not be trusted, but that should be a much rarer issue
