I wouldn't object any other place because users will find it
any way if searching by Google or any other means.

No, not necessarily. We have

http://www.freebsd.org/art.html

Imho we should have "official" FreeBSD splashs there too in 
any form. It's some sort of marketing and imho there should
be at least three of them available.

Imagine both FreeBSD distributions (PC-BSD and DesktopBSD) 
have their specific boot splashs enabled by default because
most desktop users want it.

Disclaimer: I'm NOT propagating shipping FreeBSD with a 
default splash!

Yes, I mean't freebsd-advocacy.  If we want to ease using 
splashs why don't we ask our users providing some examples?
Or even write a news announcing an "splash contest"?
