Correct. EDNS0 is useful, but CloudFlare doesn't need to rely on that. A name like news.ycombinator.com resolves to the same IP address wherever you are in the world. We then route that IP address depending on the location of the user using BGP Anycast. This the 8.8.8.8 problem is irrelevant for us (might not be for legacy providers).
