I don't think there is any explicit or implicit hint or affirmation anywhere that the 'es_AR' translation is the neutral one either. And IMHO it's a good thing. It is simply the localization of literals to the variant of the spanish language as spoken in Argentina, not more and not less. When I started it I want(ed) to have the freedom to decide about it without having to worry about the need of tradeoffs that could lead to a minimum denominator, lower quality translation. I know it is not perfect, but I'm happy and proud of it. This is why I don't think merging these two translations would be a good idea. Of course all the other es* translators, current and future, are free to reuse the strings from the 'es_AR' translation as they see fit in the same way I [1]reused the efforts the 'es' translators had done when I started it four years ago. Hopefully the existence of these teams and the effort they can invest on it are a sign of a striving community of Django developers in the country/zone that see a complete always up to date, high quality translation is an important thing to have and a good way to give something back to Django.
