I figured it was a scope of effort thing 😊

Thanks for the explanation.

I never could get the hang of Thursdays!

The simple answer is that the AIX Toolbox team already ported yum to AIX,
so it was pretty much a noop to port to PASE (#1 above). If I hadn't ran
in to so many issues porting zypper, we'd probably have that instead (#2
above, since I use openSUSE at home).

AFAIK, nobody has tried to port apt/dpkg to any OS besides Linux. The
tools surrounding apt/dpkg are also heavily coupled to the Debian
ecosystem as well.
