I'm +1 on this. I'd been thinking the same thing. I want it really easy 
to try out a change that hasn't yet been merged and "dogfood" fits that 
requirement. I'm not a huge fan of the name, but I can't think of 
anything better and don't want to get stuck bike-shedding.

Along the lines of another thread we had. I think we should have one 
dedicated board for this instance also.
