Minimality conjecture for defect subgroups of contragredient quasireductive supergroups

Let GG be a quasireductive supergroup whose Lie superalgebra LieG\operatorname{Lie}G is contragredient. A defect subgroup DD of GG is a subgroup associated with the defect of the contragredient Lie superalgebra, and a splitting subgroup is a quasireductive subgroup satisfying the splitting condition for GG.

Minimality conjecture. Up to conjugacy, a defect subgroup DD of GG is the unique minimal splitting subgroup.

The claim identifies the defect subgroup as the smallest splitting subgroup, modulo conjugacy, under the stated contragredient hypothesis. The supplied text gives no evidence that this conjecture has been resolved.
