Generic asymptotic normality conjecture for q-Stirling coefficients

Let S[n,k]S[n,k], SB[n,k]S_B[n,k], c[n,k]c[n,k], and cB[n,k]c_B[n,k] denote the four families of type AA and type BB qq-Stirling polynomials, and view each polynomial's coefficients as a probability distribution after normalization. Generic asymptotic normality conjecture. Suppose n,kn,k\to\infty with k/nαk/n\to\alpha for some 0<α<10<\alpha<1. Then the coefficient distributions of all four families are asymptotically normal. The source proves asymptotic normality in certain fixed-kk regimes for the second-kind polynomials, while this proportional-growth assertion remains conjectural.
