In my opinion Xan still overpowered (both fi/cr attack fleets are very good and their anti cr/bs - the fireblade and peacekeeper - is still unusually good), and zik is still very difficult without a dedicated cat partner(s). These changes very marginally improved anti cr through the pedlar and marginally helped against xan fi through the moth (frankly xan fi should not be gunning for cat to start with!) but I don't think they made any fundamental difference to how people will perceive xan's strength and zik weakness.

That aside even if smaller than I would have liked the changes all seem pretty sensible to me.
