AFO's stability conjecture for normal bundles of general canonical curves

Let CC be a general non-hyperelliptic smooth projective curve of genus g7g\geq 7, canonically embedded as CPg1C\hookrightarrow\mathbb{P}^{g-1}, and let NC/Pg1\mathcal{N}_{C/\mathbb{P}^{g-1}} denote its normal bundle. AFO's stability conjecture. The normal bundle NC/Pg1\mathcal{N}_{C/\mathbb{P}^{g-1}} is stable. This conjecture extends the known result that the general canonical curve of genus 77 has stable normal bundle, while contrasting with the instability known for tetragonal curves of genus at least 66. The assertion remains open in the stated generality.
