I agree, we should have everything in one recipe.
My best guess why someone removes it: He didn't know what else to do with it, 
and then it's good practice to remove 'unless stufff' within recipes.

So solving the 'FIXME' would mean: remove all the 'rm' and move them 
accordingly (remove them only if wayland is not in DISTRO_FEATURES and deploy 
them otherwise)

No clue. Anyone from freescale a comment?
