Finiteness conjecture for non-destabilizable Legendrian link types

Let L\mathscr L be a link type in S3\mathbb S^3. A Legendrian link type is non-destabilizable if it cannot be obtained from another Legendrian link type by a destabilization. Finiteness conjecture. For any link type L\mathscr L in S3\mathbb S^3, there are only finitely many non-destabilizable Legendrian link types having topological type L\mathscr L. This is a general folklore conjecture motivated by the classification problem for Legendrian links; it is unsettled in general, although it is known for several specific knot types.
