What about Ceres, Quaoar, Makmake and Haumea? What about Sedna, Eris and gonggong? How could anyone forget about gonggong?

Those were never labeled planets. Pluto was. Arbitrary classification changed to keep Earth's label important. Wierdly earth centric decision.

The classifications were always arbitrary. But if you were to change the classification back to what it was before the dwarf plant thing you'd still be including other dwarf planets.
