Thumbing through my (signed) copy of The Grand Tour by Miller and Hartmann, 
I see an interesting comment regarding pluto:

"At first Classified as a planet, Ceres was later downgraded because it was 
so small, and because it is accompanied by numerous smaller objects in 
nearby orbits.  Pluto may undergo the same fate."

Copyright dates are 1993 and 1981.  Seem to have been  prohpetic.
