It's not sticky. (Except unpredictably in older IC versions in PreFork
mode due to a bug.)

You could put that code in your admin Autoload 
($VENDROOT/lib/UI/pages/admin/.autoload) and then anywhere in the admin 
should be free of the MaxQuantity restriction. There still may be trouble 
on process or ui actions, though, come to think of it.
