Ok, the day arrived. The "Physical address" field is live in the developer console.
Below the field you'll find this: *Please provide a current, valid postal address where you may be contacted. > If you offer apps or in-app items for sale, you are required to provide a > postal address under our developer terms > <https://play.google.com/about/developer-distribution-agreement.html> and > consumer protection laws; failure to do so may result in the suspension of > your account and/or sales of your apps. Please ensure that you keep these > details up to date if they change. By providing your email or postal > address information, you confirm that you consent to Google publicly > displaying or disclosing that information in connection with your apps. * "You are required to provide a postal address under our developer terms...". Alright, the terms DON'T mention this nonsense at all! At least in the Spanish version. I think I'll put something there, not sure what... Time to start a change.org petition or something like that?
