Rattati, I know you already said "No" to this, but please consider.
Assaults need a role, they need some ability that no other suit can have.
Scouts - EWAR superiority
Heavies - insane HP and DPS
Logistics - Equipment count
Commando - Two light weapons
Assaults - ?
All other ideas that have been thrown around, that don't require new code, have some serious issues that are very very hard to balance (Regen, as an example).
Commandos and Assaults are both extremely similar suits, Commandos are fatter assaults with two light weapons and no grenades.
What's the point of having one niche suit and another suit with no role, when you can combine both into one powerful suit that has a clear use?

"Assault dropsuits are intended for standard combat operations or those in which the objectives are likely to change at a momentGÇÖs notice. Its ability to carry anything from small arms and explosives to anti-vehicle munitions and deployable support gear makes it the most adaptable direct combat suit on the battlefield."
Any suit can change at a supply depot and put on all of these.
But only the commando can have all of these minus grenades at the same time.

I doubt they will do it for Dust, but Legion is getting it.

Legion shouldn't even get it. Especially if CCP thinks it shouldn't happen in Dust, then there's no reason it should happen in Legion. There are plenty of ways to give the Assault and Commando different roles on the battlefield without merging the two.
Amarr are the good guys.

Commandos are supposed to be suppression specialists, with a side specialization in Av.
Assaults are to be the point rushers, the ones that make you go 'Wowzors THAT is an assault.'
Personally, i see no problems with makin the assault have a tanking module Efficiency bonus, while the commando has weaponry bonuses that encompass the Commando role.(ideas i remember are Max Ammo +20% per level and Effective Range+5% perlevel.)

Then... Why not use a kin cat heavy to achieve the same results as the assault?
See, that's the problem, you can augment other suits to achieve similar results, while an assault has no chance to try and EWAR or go toe to toe with a heavy.
