What we have to support the reverting on current items would be the nature of the bonuses in the data, as explained by Fiel (I think), and what happened to the VIP Crossbow when they changed its level in GMS (the potential stats followed suit). This is not 100% proof of course, but it damn right tip the scales in favor of my hypothesis.Fixed.
I'm not saying it will happen, nor do I believe it will, but there's always the chance that NxNA could choose to keep the current Potential system in tact. This would be one change that would not impact the compatibility with any future patches.
I can already see the petitions and whining as people's VIP weapons simultaneously get nerfed if it does get changed.

When you Potential an item, it doesn't lookup the stat once and store "this weapon has 8% W.Atk".
It's a reference. When the level changes, the reference changes.
