The Pełczyński decomposition conjecture for commutators

Let X\mathcal{X} be a Banach space such that

X(X)p,\mathcal{X}\simeq \big (\sum \mathcal{X}\big )_p,

where 1p1\leq p\leq\infty or p=0p=0 (we say that such a space admits a Pełczyński decomposition). Assume that L(X)\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{X}) has a largest ideal M\mathcal{M}. Commutator classification conjecture. Every non-commutator on X\mathcal{X} has the form λI+K\lambda I+K, where KMK\in\mathcal{M} and λ0\lambda\neq 0. This conjecture is suggested by the known classifications of commutators on p\ell_p for 1p1\leq p\leq\infty and on c0c_0, but its validity for general Banach spaces satisfying the stated decomposition and ideal hypotheses remains open.
