Weak smooth-values conjecture for polynomial sequences

For a polynomial PZ[x]P\in{\mathbb Z}[x], let ΨP(x,y)\Psi_P(x,y) count the integers among {P(n):1n<x}\{P(n):1\leq n<x\} whose prime factors are all at most yy. Weak smooth-values conjecture. For every non-constant polynomial PZ[x]P\in{\mathbb Z}[x],

lim supx,y2ΨP(x,y)logyy=.\limsup_{x,y\geq2}\frac{\Psi_P(x,y)\log y}{y}=\infty.

This weaker conjecture is introduced because the stronger smooth-values conjecture is not sufficient for the paper's application, even under Schinzel's hypothesis HH. It is known for linear polynomials and, according to the source, in the quadratic case via results of Dartyge–Martin–Tenenbaum.
