Incidentally, moving out of reach of NSLs just means you're now in the reach of the CIA/NSA with no need for a warrant.

And within the reach of other governments likely to be equally (if not more) meddlesome.

How would one move beyond the reach of NSLs?

I presume the OP meant moving LetsEncrypt to an organization that's in a more privacy-friendly jurisdiction.

Which isn't what's happening here. What's being transferred to the EFF is not the whole service, but one specific piece of client software which interacts with the service.
