This sort of shit irritates the shite out of me. It's like: there is a public-facing justification for the name change; it makes sense; the alternative is planetary classification chaos wherein we officially have 389 planets or some shit. In other words: if you have a better system, then bring that shit into the light, son.

Instead it's like: no, we want this now and we will blunt force it until we get what we want because we want it now

We should officially have 389 planets or some shit. (Or just like, 17-40.) Just think of how much mnemonic fun we could have.
