The machine at Hetzner (tabaluga) is already very heavily loaded serving 
Germany (and not much else).

More to the point, we do not currently have the necessary technology to 
choose a server based on network topology, so we use physical distance 
as the measure instead.

The change of DNS server that was hinted at in the blog post today does 
open the door to doing it on a network topology data, but first we need 
a good source of data for that.
