It's funny you should say that.
We've had 800x600 as the expected minimum for _years_. Like, since it
was called Red Hat Linux. It's not even a particularly egregious
assumption, that's the fallback resolution for Windows 2k and later, and
it's the Gnome HIG minimum design size.
That's why anaconda has a fixed-size UI, and why that fixed size happens
to be 800x600.
Well minimum is fine; but it is also the maximum which is rather
sucks, it shouldn't be hardcoded to be always 800x600 even on a
1980x1200 screen...
