10. Yes. If they want to start some new nomenclature, fine.

I'll go to my grave calling Pluto a planet. Hell, I still slip and call the apatosaurus a brontosaurus.

Anyway, my definition of a planet is a spherical space body in constant, predictable orbit around a solar body, with or without orbiting satellites of its own.

That definition may yet mean I have to recognize one or more additional "new" planets, but please don't expect me to remember them. :)
