I had it in my head that all privacy controls would be handled through  
one *required* BuddyPress privacy component.

Based on using tags to define privacy levels on any content, I don't  
see what we can't make this happen? We can carry across these privacy  
settings on all blogs the user owns / can post on.

This is very similar to what I had in my head, where "BP Dev Group" or  
"Example Group" are tags with defined privacy settings. If a user is  
not interested in fine grained privacy control, they can just select  
"Public" or "Only My Friends".
