Galkin–Shinder's rationality conjecture for cubic fourfolds

From papers

Let XX be a smooth cubic fourfold, let F(X)F(X) be its Fano variety of lines, and let S[2]S^{[2]} be the Hilbert scheme of length-two subschemes of a K3 surface SS. Galkin–Shinder's conjecture. XX is rational if and only if F(X)F(X) is birational to S[2]S^{[2]} for some K3 surface SS. The source presents this as an alternative rationality conjecture with stronger geometric evidence than the preceding two, but does not state a resolution.
