I think it already has been improved, in GNU Emacs 24.1 (at least):

,----[ C-h v rmail-default-dont-reply-to-names RET ]
| rmail-default-dont-reply-to-names is a variable defined in `rmail.el'.
| Its value is nil
| 
|   This variable is obsolete since 24.1;
|   use `mail-dont-reply-to-names' instead.
| [...] 

,----[ C-h v mail-dont-reply-to-names RET ]
| mail-dont-reply-to-names is a variable defined in `mail-utils.el'.
| Its value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| Regexp specifying addresses to prune from a reply message.
| If this is nil, it is set the first time you compose a reply, to
| a value which excludes your own email address.
| 
| Matching addresses are excluded from the CC field in replies, and
| also the To field, unless this would leave an empty To field.
