In some definitions it's still a planet, just a "dwarf" planet. Personally, I think it's a kick in the studs for Clyde Tombaugh's family.
Although being completely dispassionate about it, as soon as Planet X got a name and we realised both the existence of the Kuiper Belt and that Pluto wasn't even the biggest thing in it (Eris is bigger), Pluto's days were numbered.
What do you personally think of Pluto being demoted?
