Along with 8 track, bellbottoms, the Back Street Boys, and Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, Pluto is consigned to the junk heap of history. A brief flash of glory in the depths of space, and then it is over.   Such is life -- the bird flies into the chamber and then out (beowulf). Sic transit gloria pluto.....

(sob).

It also seems to mean that Xena is not going to get to be a planet. Which is a pity: I was kind of looking forward to it.
