`react-core` type declarations contain bugs

Quite simple: when we run tsc on our project we get a bunch of error output from the PatternFly type declarations:

node_modules/@patternfly/react-core/dist/esm/components/MenuToggle/MenuToggleCheckbox.d.ts:4:18 - error TS2430: Interface 'MenuToggleCheckboxProps' incorrectly extends interface 'Omit<HTMLProps<HTMLInputElement>, "disabled" | "type" | "onChange" | "checked">'.

    This type parameter might need an `extends Obj` constraint.

We can't use skipLibCheck because we have .d.ts files in our own project that we want to check.

We're using "@patternfly/react-core": "5.3.3".

Needless to say, this isn't fixed yet, except now it's increased to 10 errors in 4 files...
