Tor blocking german nodes

Hi,
because in germany fascist laws will force tor-nodes to log their connections I'm looking for a way to blog german tor-nodes. Is there any way to do this with Tor? 
I found ExcludeNodes just taking nicknames and no IP-ranges which is pretty bad. Couldn't this be implemented? I mean Tor knows the IP of the nodes so why not making it possible to blog IP-ranges with wildcards like 145.253.*.* ?
Then I found this old post: http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Jul-2006/msg00079.html which has a script which grabbs the nicks of nodes from a website and puts it into ExclueNodes. But first the website it takes this info from is down: http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu/ and second this is just a messy solution to the problem.

So why not implementing an IP-based ExcludeNodes? Much would be won with it and nothing loosed..

Is there any other workaround known at the moment to block german IP's?
