Its just not but to me it always will be. Its good to see astronomy finally ditching the conservative traditionalist views and getting things into precise order. Its something all other area of science need to do. Trees for example we have hundreds of duplicates in the list just because what one person "back home" called X they later named Y when they travelled to remote lands exploring and find what is genetically the same species, plus the locals in these places have their names too, so in the lists the same species can appear many times under different names. Just because. Minerals and rocks are the same, the fossil record too , lets set the standard by setting Standards to clean up our data so we have accurate pictures.
Whatever Pluto is classified as doesn't matter. It in no way degrades the accomplishment of getting a probe to it and the amazing questions it then raised. I don't think Pluto gives a toss.
