Universal conductor invariance of wild ramification for nearby cycles

Let SS be a strictly henselian trait with algebraically closed residue field, and let XX, xx, F\mathcal F, and F\mathcal F' be as in Theorem: XX is a strictly local SS-scheme essentially of finite type with closed point xx above the closed point of SS, while F\mathcal F and F\mathcal F' are constructible complexes on XηX_\eta with coefficients in finite fields of characteristics invertible on SS. Assume that F\mathcal F and F\mathcal F' have universally the same conductors over XX. Universal conductor invariance conjecture. The stalks (RψF)x(R\psi\mathcal F)_x and (RψF)x(R\psi\mathcal F')_x of the nearby cycle complexes have the same wild ramification, in the sense that for every σPK\sigma\in P_K their Brauer traces agree. This variant would extend the theorem that equality of wild ramification over XX is preserved by nearby cycles; whether universal equality of conductors suffices remains open.
