Another interesting news it that the official demotion of Pluto (from fully-fledged planet to dwarf planet) as a planet has driven some people nuts.

The relative size of Pluto to other objects in the kuiper belt makes it significant in its size and distance. Eris is large but as you have shown in the chart above it is out so far that its influence is not likely to be as strong.
