If I remember right, there was a mention of Xikar being the first company Q.I. acquired that had a large salesforce, and also there was a mention of Xikar's sales reps possibly beginning to sell non-Xikar Q.I. products.
This all hints at a strategy of "let's keep Xikar's salesforce and use it to sell all our stuff".
They also explicitly said they're making Xikar their top-end brand, with Palio etc. as levels below Xikar.
This all seems to suggest that the lifetime warranty will stay in place. This would make me happy, as I have a large number of Xikar products.
This is all just trying to read tea leaves though. We'll wait and see.
