No; only people using OpenPGP applications that don't support RSA will have problems. This is potentially quite a lot of people. The last time I tallied it up there were at least ten different OpenPGP implementations, and some of them only support the bare minimum required.

There is theory and then there is practice.

In theory, there are some people who can't handle RSA as the standard doesn't require it. In practice (and especially given that the original poster commented that 90% of the people he plans on communicating with use GnuPG anyway), that number is vanishingly small. PGP in one form or another owns most of the OpenPGP market. GnuPG owns most of the rest. I wouldn't worry all that much.
