Yes that's right. The other packages such as OSProcess-Base and OSProcess-Tests
are redundant with the main OSProcess package.

At one time I split the main OSProcess and CommandShell packages into smaller
modules. I don't know if that was a good idea, but it was helpful for Pharo
users who cannot load the MVC part of OSProcess/CommandShell. I maintain
everything on Squeak, and for Squeak the complete OSProcess and CommandShell
packages can be used.
