possèderait for conditional of posséder ?

Paul S.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Is this a spelling due to a language reform ? I am not seeing it here https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:French_spelling_reforms_of_1990

Both the conjugation tools for WordReference and Reverso only list posséderait as a spelling.

Thanks. Paul.

Both forms are possible according to Le Robert. It seems, though that posséderait is more common.
