In standard email campaign software like phplist, constantcontact,
mailchimp all of those popular email campaign software many of which use
Exim and are used literally by millions of email campaigners, the
bounces-to is where bounces are expected to be returned so that they can
be effectively removed from mailings and people don't' receive spam. It
is an very important part of email campaigns and reduces by great
amounts the amount of spam that is manufactured.
Okay maybe it's not in RFC's but I would it would be at least a
recommendation that bounces can be routed back to bounces-to rather than
reply-to. After all, why have the field at all if it's not used properly.

emailers should respond to bounces?
bounces always go to the envelope sender, regardless of any
unrelated junk in the headers.
