Yes, I'm just used to it.  Now that I reread the entire thread I also
see that I misunderstood the `invoking the $EDITOR before fetch phase'
vs `invoking the $EDITOR'. I find invoking the $EDITOR as part of
url2pkg useful (in general), but not invoking the $EDITOR before the
fetch phase in particular (probably postponing in next phases the
$EDITOR will be more useful indeed).

The only reason to really run it the initial phase before fetching is
to avoid the license.mk WARNING, but except that, invoking it in later
phases will be handier.
