I don't have a proposal how to use this fact for promoting FreeBSD, but my intention is to mention that strength of FreeBSD here. I think nearly every UNIX user or system administrator needs to look into the man pages from time to time. Beside my experience with FreeBSD I have some experience with different flavours of Linux, with Compaq/Digital UNIX, AIX, Solaris, Ultrix and SunOS. When looking for a man page about a subject I've a good chance to find it on a FreeBSD host, and furthermore, I've a good chance to find a readable and understandable man page there. As far as I've realised, this statement doesn't hold for all of the other systems ...
