Possible. But why should we do that _explicitly_? If, this point really matter then he should be in the license, it is, however, only marginally important, we should not especially mention it because to "guarantee" also includes a legal aspect. A legally effective promise we can not keep, is rather bad for our reputation, so it is better to promise less and deliver more than to promise more and keep less. No, no misunderstanding, I'm sure the binaries coming from the Apache pages, 99.9% sure are (likely to 99.99999 ...) but not 100%, and why should we do so as if our server are invulnerable?
