Imagine how poor Pluto would feel if we decided this new entry counted as a proper planet.

Nah, man. Pluto doesn’t care any more. Even as a dwarf planet, he knows he’s still hot shit

Pluto is the celestial body your Wife tells you not to worry about because “Oh, don’t worry it’s just Pluto coming over when you are out of town, and Pluto isn’t a planet so there is nothing for you to get anxious or jealous about”.

It'd have to be exceptionally large to clear its orbital path at that distance from the sun. It'll probably join Pluto in the dwarf planet category.
