Preperiodicity conjecture for invariant measures

Let ff be a CrC^r diffeomorphism and let μ\mu be an invariant measure. The measure is CrC^r-preperiodic if it can be approximated, together with the diffeomorphism, by periodic measures of nearby CrC^r diffeomorphisms.

Preperiodicity conjecture. For r1r\geq 1, there exists a CrC^r-residual set of diffeomorphisms for which any invariant measure supported in a chain-recurrent set is CrC^r-preperiodic.

This asks whether chain recurrence is sufficient for generic approximation of invariant measures by periodic measures under perturbation. The source notes that ergodic measures are always C1C^1-preperiodic, but gives no resolution for the stated claim.
