Campana's specialness and potential-density conjecture

Let XX be a variety over a number field KK. The set of integral points on XX is potentially dense if it becomes dense after a finite extension of KK and a suitable choice of finitely many places and model.

Campana's conjecture. XX is special if and only if the set of integral points on XX is potentially dense.

This conjecture relates Campana's geometric notion of specialness to arithmetic density. The source states it as a further conjecture but gives no resolution.
