I would have thought there were far more important things in Astronomy and Scientific research that the 4% of "funded" academics from the IAU who got it all screwed up when they voted, should be spending their time on.

I voted that it should stay as a planet. They have opened a whole can of worms for no worthwhile reason. What are we going to do about Neptune ?

A complete waste of time effort and money even bothering about such trivialities IMO.

But Neptune doesnt have an eccentric orbit like Pluto does. Still, in a few yeas we will be changing it again anyway, technology will improve,our understanding of the solar system will improve and the objects in our solar system will be reclassified. Can't help progress.
