Pluto to Remain a Planet

An international group has recommended that Pluto retain its status as a planet. This is a big victory for Pluto, but things are not settled yet, as the group that suggested keeping Pluto's planet title is just an advisory body. The article also says that several group members suggested having three classes of planets: terrestrial, gas giant, and a third that would include objects like Pluto. I think this is a reasonable compromise, although not as good as my own suggestion.
