In a stand, it'd be no problem. They may or may not need to remove one of the bolts on the brake caliper. This would be required on this bike with or without this setup, if required at all. I am guessing that the 203 rotor and adapter are there so allow for removal of the rear wheel without unbolting the caliper.

Unbolt the rear wheel, shove it all the way forward in the track ends. Roll the chain off of the chainring. Pull the rear wheel out of the ends. So far, these are the same steps required with a typical fg/ss with track ends.

The only additional step would be to droop the wheel underneath the bike so that there is plenty of slack in the chain. Then, just pull the chain around the rotor. The rear wheel is now removed.
