I don't see what harm it would do to give Pluto back its status of "Planet", for tradition's sake, and to honor its discover Clyde Tombaugh.
Any other small planets found in the solar system's outer boondocks should get the new "Dwarf Planet" status. There are several such "mini-planets" already discovered, orbiting beyond Pluto
I have read that astronomers have found evidence that there is a very large gas giant planet much further from the Sun than Pluto, and are now searching the part of the sky where it is suspected to be.
