Initial Reception From Various Individuals

Truthfully, the reception has been extremely skeptical with most requesting Schnorr to provide concrete proofs showing RSA being broken in practice.

This feels reasonable.

We'll have to see how this one evolves over the next day or so.

To claim that he has broken RSA is profound, if true. This is an obviously well-known cryptographer that has earned respect for his contributions in the field of cryptography.

So one would assume that he values his credibility and name as much as you would expect from someone of his stature. To make the claim that the "RSA cryptosystem is destroyed" is a ludicrous statement to make if he truly has no proofs.

I'm going to optimistically assume that Schnorr has additional information / proofs / breakdowns to rebut.

If not, then I'm sure there will be a response paper published in a few days, at most. This is extremely interesting as a spectator to be honest
