Like with Wiles, we have to wait until we knows what holes are in there
and how easy it is to fix them.
Yes, things could fall apart, but I gather people think it's good so far.
(Wiles's original proof, of course, fell completely apart. Lucky for
him, there was a fix, though not at all easy.)

I should have said: The question whether P = NP has been answered.
