Default The future of Pentax?

Hi all. I just read last night about the takeover of Pentax by Hoya. Now my question, as per the header, is what do you all think about this and how it will affect Pentax in the future - their development and offering of new products.
Reason being is, as you who read my other posts know, I have been (over) researching a DSLR and I pretty much have it down to 2 cameras, but with this news, it may change some things.
I want to buy into a system that will have some longevity. And, at the same time, I want a quality camera. I plan on starting slow, but over time, I expect I will invest in some additional lenses, so I would prefer to make the investment long term, and not something that will go the way of Minolta.
So this is the reason for my post. Looking for opinions.
thanks
hector
