This is how I interpret it:

Now you can replace materia one at a time to get your desired stat spread. When the scroll is reapplied to the relic (still 75/75) the stats will again be adjusted to i115 levels.

Also players who allotted 31 Determination, should probably expect that the stat weights will be brought into line as the relic continues it's upgrade process.
At i110, a crit/det Relic may be 44/31(75 points) compared to a Soldiery being 31/31 (62 points, Book of Spades), but at i115 the same relic "might" still be 44/31.
We'll find out for certain soon enough. If this is the case, a crit/det relic will still be BiS for stat weights, but we'll see materia prices for Savage Might IV come back down to more reasonabe levels since Determination won't be 'breaking' relic stat weights permanently.
