I think it's completely natural for a DM to assemble two operators -- the discretizations for the two are likely to be related anyway -- as soon as we decide that it's natural for KSP to take in two matrices and, more importantly, for the callback set with DMSetJacobian() to compute two matrices: if a DM knows how to compute two "Jacobians", why wouldn't it know how to create/preallocate the two corresponding matrices?</blockquote>
