yes, I expect sites to be usable with that size of viewport. You can - and 
should - limit text content to some width. But you should also not limit 
everybody to the smallest size possible - especially on a site targeted at 
developers. I don't think it's possible to work productively in the 
T3-Backend with a 800x600 resolution anyway, so why limit the developers 
resource site to that size? Just adding 100 or 200 pixels in width _will_ 
make a big difference for most pages with lots of content.

yes - this will have to be solved as well, but my point is: there will be 
content _especially_ designed for the new layout - like the extension 
listing and and document section. And if this content is designed for an 
800px-layout, it will make usability worse.
