B1 Gear up

So what happens to that B-1 that bellied in? Does that mess with the stealth aspect? Do they part it out to bring a boneyard B-1 up to operational status to replace it?
The B-1 isn't considered a stealth aircraft, even though it may incorporate some early techniques to minimize it's RCS. Obviously, it will depend on the exact nature of the damage, but you'd be surprised at what the depot folks can do to get an aircraft back into service.

*Update*
Board results from investigation into May 10th gear-up landing.
"Investigators concluded the cause of the mishap was both pilots' failure to lower the landing gear during the aircraft's approach and landing."
Well, duh!
Some of the details leading up to the landing offer a little more insight, though.
