I think this has little to do with curricula or departments. Most working
mathematicians  are not pleased by Gödel incompleteness, and believe that
it is irrelevant to "real" mathematics. Harvey's body of work, with example
after example, from various directions, challenges this prejudice. And
regrettably, mathematicians are no more likely than the rest of humanity to
be pleased by having their prejudices challenged.
