Because Frantech=PONYNET (especially Luxembourg) it's just as crowded as:
OVH SAS (AS16276)
Online S.a.s. (AS12876)
Hetzner Online GmbH (AS24940)
DigitalOcean, LLC (AS14061)
;-) Berlin (AS60729)

That doesn't mean that you should turn off your Tor exit when it's already 
running. :-) I have some running there too.
Frantech is suitable for the first exit experiences because you don't have any 
problems with abuse there, if you follow the rules.
