Nonvanishing conjecture for Bernoulli-number finite zeta values

For every odd integer k3k\geq 3, define the element (Bpk(modp))pAQ(B_{p-k}\pmod p)_p\in\mathcal{A}_{\mathbb{Q}}, where BmB_m denotes the mm-th Bernoulli number. Bernoulli finite zeta nonvanishing conjecture. For all odd integers k3k\geq 3,

(Bpk(modp))pAQ(B_{p-k}\pmod p)_p\in\mathcal{A}_{\mathbb{Q}}

is non-zero. This is naturally related to the Kaneko–Zagier conjecture and predicts nonvanishing of a family of finite multiple zeta values. The source provides no resolution status for this conjecture.
