Would it make more sense to just list this in
lib/bb/fetch2/__init__.py:runfetchcmd() instead?

In some ways I'd be in favour of pruning the main bitbake.conf list in
favour of just listing things like proxy variables there specifically
in the fetcher.

If users want to be able to configure that list, we could expose that
list from bitbake too...

Cheers,
