Sure, it's a great question. And I don't know for sure, but I would imagine a powerful enough gravitational force, or certainly a collision with a massive body (e.g. another star) would completely change this value. But for that to have happened to enough of the 14 original pulsars so as to make the map legitimately completely useless... I think it would be an amazing, spectacular and infinitesimally-unlikely event.
