Why can't we think of Nuevo in the same way we think of Milonga, i.e. related, 
but a completely different dance to Tango with its own steps, style and music. 
After all, Milonga only became part of the 'Tango Trinity' in the 1930s. And, just 
as no one dances Milonga to Tango music or Tango to Milonga music, so it 
would be with Nuevo. We could then add Nuevo Tandas during milongas. 
If people don't like Nuevo, they can just sit out the tanda, just as many do 
with Milonga.
