The article in my local rag indicated that one fellow who was a leader in insisting that a new and more consistent definition is needed now says he doesn't like what they've come up with.

His objection may have something to do with the need for him to now prepare all the statistics and submit the new objects he's reported discovering, and he say's he has "about 53 of them" that will have to be cussed, discussed, and debated to decide whether each of them should be called a planet under the new definitions.

If he doesn't get a bunch of grad students (a euphemism for slave laborers) to help, the paperwork is definitely gonna cut into his coffee breaks.
