Gompf's embedding conjecture for closed oriented 3-manifolds

From papers

Let YY be a closed oriented 33--manifold. Gompf's embedding conjecture. YY admits a smooth embedding into a symplectic 44--manifold.

Such an embedding would provide a route toward constructing simply connected 44--manifolds with infinitely many smooth structures bounding arbitrary closed oriented 33--manifolds. The source presents this as an interesting question and gives no resolution.
