It seems we agree on most things except a few ones :)

That is equivalent to my "Normal" mode.

That is equivalent to my "Friends only" mode.

There is no easy way with that method to be in Do Not Disturb for
everybody, only to be in Do Not Disturb for everybody *but* friends
(equivalent to my "Friends only" mode). And there is no easy way to be
in auto-answer for all your friends (Free to chat in IM's). Those are my
only additions to your method. Also, I do not introduce a different
behavior popup/auto-answer for each user, I don't think it is useful.
