I'm not betting on an f8 fix for the 6D. Canon Rumors is often out there with, well...rumors. That's why I won't invest in a Canon 1.4x TC until I see it happen.
That said, I was out today testing the 400 5.6 with the Kenko 2x TC. Pretty sharp images. Handheld manual focusing 800mm with no IS is a bear, though. The 400+2x TC combo will have to be for sitting birds only.

Yes, sitting birds only and maybe with a tripod. The tripod really helps you to manage the MF. Don't forget, a 2.0x TC and a 25mm ET make for a great macro rig, depending on the minimum focus distance of your super-tele. I seem to recall that the 400/5.6 had a bit of a long MFD, but it's worth a try.
