I've always thought of "likely-dup" as a bug that sounds familiar to a 
triager but they can't find the master bug for whatever reason.  These 
'likely-dup' bugs should then be reviewed regularly and consolidated 
into the "metabug"s.  We currently have 51 at the moment and someone
should go over them soon so I have added it to the to do list[0].
