zypper didn't cross compile easily and had a fairly nasty dependency chain if I remember rightly including things like boost. We had quite an extensive patchset against it and libzypp which could never be upstreamed: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=fcdc8d7f6d10b3abf9 f6a28cff55b1cc89b88bc9 zypper was also hostile to rpm5 if I remember rightly. Switching to something python based was much lower overhead on the system compared to C++ and boost.
