Groups/profiles would be great for this too so you could set multiple standards and bulk apply.

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

Now that the base features exist, I am sure many of us think it would be nice if per stream limit could be moved in to the users → friends → restrictions panel just the same way library access is.
