Baryons are too heavy to exist so they decay into lighter particles quickly; proof of existence of these and all similar subatomic particles just adds credibility to existing quark theories, probably of how other familiar baryons like neutrons and protons "morph" into one another. In this case, it probably adds yet another data point to how quarks govern subatomic hadron particles. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_baryon and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baryon. Even more interesting is this article, which may be suggesting that the decay of these particles contributes to gamma rays we observe, even be a source for them.
