Maximal-rank restriction conjecture for linear systems on blow-ups

Let XX be the blow-up of P2\mathbb P^2 at rr general points, let DD be an effective divisor on XX, and let EE be a (1)(-1)-curve. Consider the restriction map

DρDE.\lvert D\rvert\xrightarrow{\rho}\lvert D_{\vert E}\rvert.

The conjecture asserts: (1) all base points in the image of ρ\rho come from a base curve in D\lvert D\rvert; and (2) if D\lvert D\rvert has no fixed component, then ρ\rho has maximal rank. This predicts maximal-rank behavior for restrictions of plane linear systems to exceptional curves; the source gives no resolution status.
