I interpret the Flickr picture as follows:
The VS is off the aircraft because it was in the way for some of the structural repair that will occur. The aft scaffolding defines the area that will be receiving significant structural repair along the crown of the fuselage.

Next, They will build a tent over the scaffolding that spans the aft fuselage.

Watch the forward scaffolding and the lower deck of the aft scaffolding for action. That will be the outflow of internal components as the strip out commences. Start your repair stop watch then. What you see now is facilitation.

The total operation is likely phased so that the expensive repair crew spends minimum time on site.

All you sidewalk superintendents pull up a seat.
