Description
### Your question:
It looks like the release of `pip` 24.2 at the end of July introduced a more strict version of `pip check`:
https://ichard26.github.io/blog/2024/08/whats-new-in-pip-24.2/#pip-check-just-got-a-bit-stricter
And this can cause issues with [some](https://github.com/conda-forge/xgboost-feedstock/pull/191) [packages](https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/issues/27438). Has there been any discussions about guiding maintainers on how to deal with this since I'm guessing there will be a lot of misconfigured metadata upstream?
The current solution seems to be patching or disabling `pip check`.
