Other thing that I dislike is the name "dwarf planets". Couldn't just be "Planets class A" and "Planets class B" or similar? Why dwarf? Doesn't it sound a bit rude?

Because Pluto was counted as a planet for a long time. The drop in pay grade has got to hurt. I agree about the term "dwarf planets" with stars it is a more scientific class type naming protocol why shouldn't planets get the same dignity.
