Katz's conjecture on rational curves on quintic threefolds

Let XX be a general quintic threefold, and let dd be the degree of a smooth rational curve on XX. The scheme parametrizing smooth rational curves of degree dd on XX records these curves with their scheme structure. Katz's conjecture. The scheme of smooth rational curves of degree dd on the general quintic threefold is not empty, reduced and finite. This is a stronger version of the Clemens finiteness conjecture for degrees d7d\leq 7, as described in the source. The supplied source does not state whether the claim is resolved.
