Lets see if this fixes the issue on macOS Ventura that software updater kept insisting to update to 2 Command Line Tools for Xcode versions at the same time:

% softwareupdate --list
Software Update Tool

Finding available software
Software Update found the following new or updated software:
* Label: Command Line Tools for Xcode-14.0
	Title: Command Line Tools for Xcode, Version: 14.0, Size: 687109KiB, Recommended: YES, 
* Label: Command Line Tools for Xcode-14.1
	Title: Command Line Tools for Xcode, Version: 14.1, Size: 687455KiB, Recommended: YES, 

After running the above steps (and removing /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools) it has stopped showing up in the System Settings. So that's good 👍

Edit: After xcode-select --install ('Install Command Line Developer Tools') has run softwareupdate --list now shows "No new software available." 😊
