There does seem to be a lot of energy being expended on the status
of a few objects quite a long way down the list, while objects
which would quallify as quite respectable planets get relegated
as mere moons due to accidents of association with rather large
neighbours...

If one accepts the discrimination against moons, though, the only two
objects about which a fuss is being expended on that list are Ceres and
Sedna.
