Note that moving the servers from the US would not be sufficient - you'd have to move the domain to a TLD not controlled by the US or any other entity that they can influence. You'd have to host with a provider independent enough etc.
Thus, the stated goal of persona is to remove the need for a centralized auth provider - thus sidestepping the problem of where those centralized servers are located. That's why they don't want to engage in a whack-a-mole game with the US government.
