The nature of your product means that you are able to use the product as part of creating the product. Much like how a trucking company uses its own trucks to deliver the parts needed to build/repair those same trucks. Or how gcc is used to build gcc. What you call "extreme dogfooding" is more like half plain old dogfooding and half bootstrapping.

It's got nothing to do with bootstrapping.

It's quite similar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(compilers)

The process of getting a compiler to compile itself is not unlike your process of using Rainforest as part of the build process for Rainforest.
