Vanishing conjecture for the congruence subgroup homology

From papers

Let kk be the field appearing in the power-series congruence subgroup, let n,mn,m be positive integers, let pp be a prime, and write Cn,m(k[[t1,t2,,tm]])C_{n,m}(k[[t_1,t_2,\dots,t_m]]) for the corresponding congruence subgroup. For every positive integer ll, consider its homology with coefficients in Z/p\mathbb Z/p. Vanishing conjecture. For all l>0l>0,

Hl(Cn,m(k[[t1,t2,,tm]]),Z/p)=0.H_l(C_{n,m}(k[[t_1,t_2,\dots,t_m]]),\mathbb Z/p)=0.

If true, this would yield the displayed comparison of the homology of SLnSL_n over the power-series ring and over kk; the source gives no resolution of the vanishing assertion.
