The abstract I remember reading proved GC on a set of finite number fields
of increasing size, and then inferred it for the integers at the end.

The "proof" doesn't seem to have become famous, and yet, I don't recall it
being publicly shot down either.  Then some other group announced a big
prize for proving GC recently, so I really have no clue as to what is
going on.

The distribution of prime numbers is completely determined once one
classifies the zeros of the Riemann Zeta Function, so perhaps the Clay
Math folks considered the inclusion of two problems on the structure of
prime numbers redundant, and the Riemann Hypothesis to be the most
important one.

The Riemann Hypothesis, and NP=P, are of course the only problems in the
seven with earthshaking implications for the face of Crypto As We Know It.
