Stability of schemes smooth over fat points

Let n\mathfrak{n} be a fat point over κ\kappa, and let XX be a scheme smooth over n\mathfrak{n}. Let x\mathfrak{x} be an admissible arc in Arcκ\operatorname{\bf Arc}_{\kappa} containing n\mathfrak{n}. Stability conjecture. Every scheme XX which is smooth over a fat point n\mathfrak{n} is x\mathfrak{x}-stable for every admissible arc x\mathfrak{x} containing n\mathfrak{n}. Smooth schemes over a fat point are proposed as a broad source of stable schemes, extending the triviality phenomenon for local deformations of smooth schemes. The source explicitly presents this claim as conjectural, and no resolution is supplied here.
