Birational Fano varieties conjecture for cubic fourfolds

Let XX and XX' be smooth cubic fourfolds, and let F(X)F(X) and F(X)F(X') be their Fano varieties of lines. Birational Fano varieties conjecture. If

F(X) and F(X) are birationally equivalent,F(X)\text{ and }F(X')\text{ are birationally equivalent},

then XX and XX' are birationally equivalent. Equivalently, birational equivalence of the Fano varieties of lines implies birational equivalence of the cubic fourfolds. The conjecture is motivated by examples in which non-isomorphic cubic fourfolds have birationally equivalent Fano varieties of lines, but no general proof is known.
