Nilsoliton stability conjecture for Ricci flow near nilpotent homogeneous metrics

Let (Mn,g(t))(\mathcal{M}^{n},g(t)) be a solution of Ricci flow such that g(0)g(0) is sufficiently close, in a suitable norm, to a (locally) homogeneous metric on a quotient of a nilpotent Lie group. A nilsoliton is a Ricci soliton metric on a nilpotent Lie group. Nilsoliton stability conjecture. There exists a limit solution (Mn,g(t),x)(\mathcal{M}_{\infty}^{n},g_{\infty}(t),x_{\infty}) which is a nilsoliton. This is proposed as a stability mechanism for Type-III behavior of nilpotent, and more generally solvable, pseudosolitons; the suitable norm and the precise asymptotic blow-down construction are not specified, and the conjecture remains open.
