I agree that there's no problems with porteño nuevoists; I danced for weeks in BsAs without seeing any nuevo. But, IMO, that's because they have their own places to go to satsfy their needs. And that's my whole point; separate Nuevo and Traditional Tango and the problems end.
All that remains if for nuevo instructors, outside of Argentina, to educate their students that they don't dance nuevo in traditional BsAs milongas. What they do in their own countries is up up them but I would hope that they'll follow the lead of BsAs. Btw, I learned nuevo in BsA from Gustavo Rosas and Gisele Natoli and they definitely told us not to dance what they taught us in the milongas. I also saw them many times at Canning - dancing very nice traditional tango :-) I think one problem is that, while porteño nuevoists can also dance traditonal tango and are able to enjoy the popular, famous milongas of BsAs, foreign nuevoists can only dance nuevo. But that's their problem.
