Scientists are currently debating whether or not Pluto should be considered a planet. To some, Pluto is just an icy rock that shouldn't really be considered a planet.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, ... It just doesn't flow without Pluto!
If they add another "planet" that is similar to Pluto - they've named it "2003 UB313" - this is what we'll have to reprogram our brains to think:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, 2003 UB313. That doesn't flow either.
BTW, the informal name for this planet is "Xena" - yep, named after the warrior princess.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Xena...er...no thanks.
Great. You know how we laugh at people in history who thought that the world was flat? People of the future - possibly our children - are going to laugh at us because "they didn't know the planets in their solar system! They kept on changing their minds!!!" Imagine that. Indecision in U.S. elections AND in the Solar System.

What are they going to do to us next? Mess with the colors of the rainbow?
Watch out, Mr. ROY G. BIV!!!
