No. As building is not the main work, but creating, maintaining and testing the installer scripts
is. For win32 hosts we have:
- win32
- wince
- win64
- android
- jvm
- msdos

You are aware that fpc is an open source community project so the possibility to "reallocate" man
power is basically zero?

No idea, I do not care. I still need win32, so I take care of those. As win64 installers would
double my work without any benefit for me, I do not create them. But as said, fpc is a community
project, if somebody cares, he is welcome to make scripts for win64 inno installers and take care of
the releases.

I do, sometimes, http://build.alb42.de:8080/
