i'd agree with that as during the 50,000 year cycle of harvesting/reaping the reapers must be off in another galaxy in the local group area doing their evil shit as 50,000 years is an awfully long time to be hibernating. as it wouldn't be beyond the technological capacity of the reapers to traverse long distances between the galaxies.
