Dan Diephouse being hired by Mule has no impact on that.   CXF is basically
XFire 2.0.   Dan D. is one of the leads on CXF with the goal being that CXF
is the "new version" of XFire.   That is why XFire now recommends CXF.    
In most cases, it is a "significant upgrade" from XFire 1.2.x.   (although
there are some features in XFire that are still missing)   Dan D. being
hired by Mule should not have a negative impact on CXF as part of his job at
Mule will be to integrate CXF into Mule.   

In anycase, the goal is to replace the xfire stuff in ServiceMix with CXF
over time.   There are definitely advantages to that.   CXF is completely
JAX-WS certified.   It passes the TCK's.   It also passes the JSR181 TCK
(xfire does not).   The spring configuration/integration in CXF is much
better than XFire's.   The support for WS-* stuff is better in CXF.  
Etc.....
