Batyrev's index boundedness conjecture for log terminal Fano varieties

Let XX be a normal nn-dimensional log terminal Fano variety over an algebraically closed field kk, with KXK_X Q{\mathbb Q}-Cartier and KX-K_X ample. Its index is the minimal positive integer II such that IKXI\cdot K_X is Cartier. A set of varieties is bounded if its members occur as geometric fibers of a finite-type family over kk.

Index boundedness conjecture. The family of nn-dimensional log terminal Fano varieties of index II is bounded.

The source attributes this weaker conjecture to V. Batyrev and notes that it follows from the BAB conjecture by taking ϵ=1/I\epsilon=1/I. Its resolution status is not established by the supplied evidence.
