Jupiter has over 60 moons, some of which are retrograde, and most of which have been discovered in recent years. I propose eliminating them as moons, and reverting to just the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. The other moons are too small / too different / too strange. And I won't compromise or listen to anyone about this. ;')

The lame and/or childish objections to the proposed planet definition have hit a new low -- CNN trumpets that the Moon would have to be reclassified as a planet, provided it survives long enough. If the IAU still exists then, it can make that determination.
