Bogomolov–Karzhemanov–Kuyumzhiyan conjecture on birational stable flexibility

Let XX be an algebraic variety. It is birationally stably flexible if the field extension K(X)(y1,,yn)\mathbb K(X)(y_1,\ldots,y_n) admits a flexible model.

Bogomolov–Karzhemanov–Kuyumzhiyan conjecture. Every unirational algebraic variety XX is birationally stably flexible.

This conjecture would strengthen the known implication from stable rationality to birational stable flexibility. The source gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
