Uniqueness of bubble limits at a singular Einstein point

Let (Xj,gj,pj)(X_j,g_j,p_j) be a sequence of Einstein metrics converging with non-collapsing volume to a singular Einstein metric (X,g,p)(X_\infty,g_\infty,p_\infty), and let Vol(p)\operatorname{Vol}(p_\infty) denote the volume density at pp_\infty. A bubble limit is a pointed geometric limit obtained by rescaling around pp_\infty. Cone rigidity conjecture. The set of bubble limits whose volume density equals Vol(p)\operatorname{Vol}(p_\infty) consists of a single point. Uniqueness of tangent cones is known when curvature has only quadratic blow-up at pp_\infty, but the general uniqueness assertion remains an open folklore question.
