Lusztig's quotient conjecture for special pieces

Let g\mathfrak{g} be the Lie algebra of an exceptional simple algebraic group, let \0\0 be a special nilpotent orbit, and let P(\0){\mathcal P}(\0) be its special piece. Let HH be the finite group arising in the quotient description of special pieces. Lusztig's quotient conjecture. Each special piece P(\0){\mathcal P}(\0) is isomorphic to the quotient of a smooth variety P~(\0)\widetilde{\mathcal{P}}(\0) by HH:

P(\0)P~(\0)/H.{\mathcal P}(\0)\cong\widetilde{\mathcal{P}}(\0)/H.

For classical types, Kraft and Procesi proved the analogous stronger quotient description by an elementary abelian 22-group. The conjecture concerns exceptional Lie algebras and is described as matching the quotient construction obtained from the natural complement to HH.
