Let me ask you a simple question: If Pluto becomes a planet, are you okay with these five also becoming planets: Ceres (sits between Mars and Jupiter), Eris, Makemake, Quaoar, Sedna, etc.? Think about it -- Jupiter will no longer then be the fifth planet; it will be the sixth. Also, will your bosses at MAGA endeavor to be scientifically consistent in this way? If not, then you have no debate.
What you'll unwittingly end up accomplishing is to invent a new word that merely replaces the word planet in its current sense with a new name, e.g. cleorb/cleorbs, orbex/orbexes, etc. You will break every science textbook and every LLM. Is this what you want, because it is what you will get.
