Personally, seeing as they are all the same anyway, I hope they scrap them in 5.0 and just replace them with one stat called Power or something.
Unless they're going to return to when Primary stat distribution, albeit focused on a single stat per job, held the same customization function as secondary stats -- revisable to potentially greater variance even while remaining balanced than our current Secondary Stats, actually -- that seems the logical choice. You'd just have Attack Power or Spell Power, based on job, your Vitality, and your secondary stats. (Though, by that ticket, Direct Hit, Tenacity, and Piety could also be each discarded without any negative impact to gameplay...)
