Maybe this is more true for research that assumes the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis than research that assumed the truth of Fermat's Last Theorem?

Maybe there was some significant body of research before 1995 that assumed the Taniyama–Shimura–Weil conjecture, a more powerful statement that implied Fermat's Last Theorem and was ultimately proven as a way of proving it.
