Semi-stable presentations are minimal presentations

Let φ\varphi be a self map of the projective line and let Φ\Phi be a semi-stable presentation of φ\varphi. A presentation is called minimal when it is minimal at every place. Minimality conjecture. Then Φ\Phi is a minimal presentation of φ\varphi. Semi-stable presentations realize the conductor as their singular reduction locus, a property that every minimal presentation has; the conjecture asks whether the converse implication holds. The source does not indicate whether this is resolved.
