The Racket core distribution has already started deprecating the 'planet' command in favour of going through the 'raco' command and the 'planet' subcommand:
raco planet ... rather than planet ... The current documentation does not refer to the 'planet' command at all. If users are still using it, then an alias would be sufficient, since it is unlikely that programs (certainly none in the Racket distribution) call 'planet' directly.
