Question for cryptography professors!

Do you agree that an applied cryptography course could be designed to largely omit RSA—covering it only briefly in five minutes—in order to allocate more time to group-based primitives and, ultimately, provide greater emphasis on zero-knowledge concepts later in the course?

I ask this because RSA seems to be relatively a dead end, both in practice but also in terms of the hard problems it is based on.
