pip 24.2 increases pip check strictness causing failures

Your question:

It looks like the release of pip 24.2 at the end of July introduced a more strict version of pip check:

And this can cause issues with some packages. 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.

I have hit several of these. The issue in my experience has always been fixed by adding a constraint to python in the offending package. Unfortunately, the error message, XXXX is not supported on this platform, isn't very intuitive.
