A139074 or 0 if no such prime exists.

I disagree.  The definition of the sequence should not depend upon the
state of our knowledge.

Instead, a comment should be added to note that the 0's in the sequence
are conjectured.

While I am not as pessimistic as Artur on the Fermat primes question 
(or
maybe I just hope for a long life :)), I agree that this is a better
definition.
