Your implementation looks good, the problem with "dict-merge" (what you
implemented) is that updates in Django won't reach users unless something
triggers it externally. Users' catalogs would live under a different key
than the updated Django main catalogs, ignoring the updated plural forms.
Plural forms are only generated/copied once the catalog is initialized
with makemessages, otherwise the messages will be updated only, see
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/management/commands/makemessages.py#L616
You shouldn't trigger a plural forms copy on each write_po_file because it
may mess with the forms unexpectedly, i.e. if a plural form changes its
"meaning" (ordering). Under a plural forms change, the catalog should be
reorganized.
