I think it would be cool to have a programme/package/whatever that would allow 
one to create/change/delete security and privacy policies (or a series of 
pre-defined policy sets allowing for some pre-defined views, like "I trust the 
world", "Mandatory Access Control", "Privacy", or whatever). This is not an 
easy task, though, and may require synchronisation and/or dependancies between 
a series of packages.

But it sure would beat having to (as in your case) edit different files,
in different places, to change the default umask, and having to 'cd ~ &&
chmod -R o-rwx *' to take out any "other" access to your home dir.

Why don't you propose  it?

I am sorry if I sounded snarky. I am unsure, though, where it happened.
