Re: [OE-core] [PATCH 24/49] python3-chardet: upgrade 6.0.0.post1 -> 7.4.3

For reference, both Debian and Fedora are steering well clear of 7.x:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-chardet/pull-request/15
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1129923

This AI rewrite has indeed backfired. If the author won't convince
CPython upstream to take it into the standard library (which is the
ultimate goal), then it's game over.

We might place a version check regex into the recipe to exclude 7.x.
