What are your opinions of all the theorems that rely on RH as an excluded middle?

Constructivists reject exmid, saying instead that a proof of "A or B" requires you to have in hand a proof of A or a proof of B. And nobody yet has a proof of RH nor a proof of ~RH. This is important in so-called incomplete logical systems, where some theorems are neither provable nor disprovable, and, therefore, exmid is an inadmissible axiom.
