Been there, done that.
The short answer: "We don't want anyone else to play in our playground!"
The longer answer: "More machines mean more work for the the buildd admin.
Additional buildd admins for those archs are not wanted, because that would
need communication between the buildd admins."
Because w-b admins are the same persons as the buildd admin for certain
archs which give regular problems, you can guess, where the real problem
lies.
