Well, either you take the challenge or you don't. Asking for compromise
doesn't mean anyone will have serious success. Or do you think OpenSSL,
OpenSSH, GnuPG for instance are only *pretty* safe because they don't
claim to be? IIRC, they do so although giving not any warranty as
usual.

Sure, as long as this piece of stardust rotates there'll always be
something to fix, to enhance etc. pp. Still, inspecting the concerned
sources and telling so - "We've investigated and found no vulnerability"
would be a good idea, IMHO. It's obvious no human being can give a 100%
warranty. It's rather a QA issue. I'm pretty sure a whole lot of projects
don't care about such a vulnerability and the Java guys feel safe anyway
because they don't have these obnoxious pointers and buffer overfloods
either.
