Fulton's weak nefness conjecture for the moduli space of stable pointed curves

Let M0,n\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n} be the moduli space of stable nn-pointed genus-zero curves. A divisor EE on M0,n\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n} is FF-nef if C(a,b,c,d).E0C(a,b,c,d).E\geq 0 for every vital curve corresponding to a partition with part sizes a,b,c,da,b,c,d. Fulton's conjecture. The FF-nef divisors are nef: if C(a,b,c,d).E0C(a,b,c,d).E\geq 0 for all (a,b,c,d)(a,b,c,d), then C.E0C.E\geq 0 for every irreducible curve CC. This weak form is proved for n7n\leq 7; for n8n\geq 8, no counterexample is known, but no proof is known either.
