There absolutely has been App Engine downtime in the past year. They seem to be claiming that the datastore specifically (an App Engine service) hasn't had any downtime. It's not really a good measurement of App Engine's reliability as a whole.

"no HR datastore apps were affected." Sure, it is a small point, but it actually matters a lot. At this point everyone hosting a real service that cares about uptime should be on HR. I had someone from google tell me that GAE lost an entire datacenter and nobody noticed.
