Oguiso's rational-curve conjecture for Calabi–Yau threefolds

Let XX be a Calabi–Yau threefold. A Cartier divisor with nef-boundary class is a non-trivial Cartier divisor DD whose first Chern class lies in the boundary of the nef cone of XX.

Oguiso's conjecture. If XX has a Cartier divisor DD with nef-boundary class, then XX contains a rational curve.

This is a weakened version of the general question whether Calabi–Yau threefolds contain rational curves. The assumption is strong: it requires h2(X)>1h^2(X)>1 and a nonzero rational point on the boundary of the nef cone. The source gives no resolution status.
