Do we want to include those 44 Plutos + 1
asteroid (Ceres) in the same league as the 8 Major Planets?

Frankly, I don't care. I don't really care what they call them. They
are there regardless of what we think of them or name them. The whole
idea of "planet" is a cultural concept. What there are are thousands
of bodies of various sizes and compositions in orbit around the sun,
and they are all worthy of study.

This whole fiasco is a tempest in a teapot.
