  Finding string backgrounds with de Sitter spacetime, where all approximations
and corrections are controlled, is an open problem. We revisit the search for
de Sitter solutions in the classical regime for specific type IIB supergravity
compactifications on group manifolds, an under-explored corner of the landscape
that offers an interesting testing ground for swampland conjectures. While the
supergravity de Sitter solutions we obtain numerically are ambiguous in terms
of their classicality, we find an analytic scaling that makes four out of six
compactification radii, as well as the overall volume, arbitrarily large. This
potentially provides parametric control over corrections. If we could show that
these solutions, or others to be found, are fully classical, they would
constitute a counterexample to conjectures stating that asymptotic de Sitter
solutions do not exist. We discuss this point in great detail.
