My understanding of the reclassification is that with all the little Pluto-sized rocks being discovered with the new technology available, it was just a matter of time before we have to remember hundreds, or maybe even thousands of planets...so the question would be either demote Pluto or elevate a ton of cosmic debris to planetary status...
When I was a kid in science class, I thought it was cool that someone had only recently (in terms of human history) discovered a new planet, & that with ever-advancing technology I would probably live to see more discoveries...ironically, the new tech just showed how common & inconsequential Pluto really is...next we'd have to start naming the asteroids...
