Looks as if the IAU are about to keep Pluto as a planet but a subclass known as "plutons", which means Ceres, the current known largest asteriod, will become a planet! This is interesting as I had expected they would discount Pluto, but I think this new mass range also makes sense. The BBC have an interesting article about this [here]
