Yun's uniqueness conjecture for minimal reduction types

Let GG be the reductive group underlying the affine Grassmannian, let LgL^{\heartsuit}{\mathfrak g} be the space of elements under consideration, and for γLg\gamma\in L^{\heartsuit}{\mathfrak g} let RTmin(γ)\operatorname{RT}_{\min}(\gamma) be the set of minimal nilpotent orbits, under the closure order, whose affine Springer fibers over those orbits are non-empty. Yun's conjecture. For any γLg\gamma\in L^{\heartsuit}{\mathfrak g}, the minimal reduction set RTmin(γ)\operatorname{RT}_{\min}(\gamma) consists of a single nilpotent orbit. The conjecture asserts uniqueness of the minimal reduction type beyond the shallow elements for which Yun proved uniqueness and constructed the minimal reduction map; the supplied source does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
