has there been any discussions returming Pluto to a " planet " status ? I mean this thing appears to be alive, even after a short 100 second visit.

It's not a question of returning Pluto to planet status. It's a question of redefining "planet". There's a fair bit of professional dissatisfaction with the current definition, so a change could happen. But not fast. IAU commission nomenclature recommendations tend to take years before they are put to a vote.
