I'm not even sure about the merger tbh, seems like a headache. The server would probably be better off with remaining as is. I don't see much harm coming to the project or the red and blue servers if another option was available.
The PvP Teams model would be great for expanding the pvp community. The players on red would come to check it out and so would the blues, without 5 years of farming the playing field would be realativley level with an obvious advantage going to the pvpers who are familiar with the mechanincs but in a hard-coded team environment the new players from blue would have less of a hill to climb to get involved and become invested.
A year or so in, entry would be a bit of a shit show but that is already the case with both servers and additionally the same scenario you will be faced with when entering any MMO post launch/exansion.
