I think someone working in cryptography will worry about a sudden number theory breakthrough that allows for breaking of cryptography as much as a someone working in the energy sector will worry about a sudden physics breakthrough that allows for practically free energy cold fusion energy.

free energy still needs to be distributed and solving free energy does not solve the balance of the grid. Dunno about Cryptographers.
