This is not going to happen.

That page used to have a standard text that explained that the user has
correctly set up their Apache server and a bit of text about what the
Apache project was.  This was changed to the simple "It works" page,
because it used to cause bug reports, e-mail threats, etc.  etc.  from
people who had failed to set up their server correctly, saw something
about "Apache" (without really reading the text of it) and drew the
conclusion that some "Apache" group had hacked their server, with which
they then went on to convey their dissatisfaction in less than
constructive ways.
