pretty much the same as here why do we have wayland on nemesis? (Post by ncmprhnsbl #80772)
that list you have is "hardly any wayland" ;) .. but the future will bring more..
it's a case of: if you want to try and use it, it's there, otherwise it's safe to ignore it.

We could probably test removing all wayland files that come with Porteus. :)

Is there a vulnerability risk concerning wayland?

I vaguely recall some issues years back - but recall no details.
Cheers!
