1) Do you have statistics of dlang.org?
2) Do you think that dlang.org statisitcs will be very different 
with world statistics? I don't think so.
3) Do you think that % of 4:3 displays will not drop? In all 
world it decrease each month.

I used statistics from my professional sphere, but ok, lets try 
google any other.
For example, 
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp
1024x768  Jan 2015: 4%
1280x1024 Jan 2015: 7%
1366x768 33%
1920x1080 16%

Other way. Check any shop. How many new monitors 4:3 (or 5:4) it 
have, and how many widescreen?
Check, how many new 4:3 models have, for example, LG? One. Asus? 
No one. Any other company? Only a few, right? Trend is that % of 
4:3 displays goes to be 0 soon.

I did not say that site must be only for widescreen. Keywords: 
Responsive Web Design.

Yep, new design has _same_ solution.

Do you have more good ideas?
