Be careful with this argument: I have spent time with both (used to work for Red Hat), and I have to say I prefer zypper hugely, both for its speed and features. Some things are not so easy (I cannot do `sudo zypper in /usr/bin/name`), but some things are better.
I am honestly curious here, which parts of zypper do you miss from dnf?
And from what I know about dnf, than it was mostly rather poor rewrite of libzypp, which was so bad, they are rewriting it again. I don't think we should attach ourselves to something which has been effectively abandoned.
I am not sure, but it might be related to them integrating modularity a bit tighter, as the dnf team took over modularity from the old modularity team.
