If the Felix folks are happy I see it as a win-win really. This could be a good way to help build the ServiceMix Kernel community - which is mostly to do with OSGi and little to do with ESBs and JBI and so forth - as well as building a stronger community of folks from both ServiceMix and Felix. Am sure parts of ServiceMix kernel could be used by Felix folks and vice versa.
