Your later point is why the symmetric/system assembler will/should be
merged - they are for a large part the same, but double the work when
changes are necessary.

It hasn't been removed. It doesn't follow the design pattern of the
other assemblers (or DOLFIN objects in general), which means it could
not inherit the AssemblerBase member functions. It needs someone to
fix it.
