It's getting close though, they are spreading around the code like 
wildfire right now.

Please add your voices on IRC or open a bug in Mantis to get some 
community input on this topic before it's too late, if you think it's 
worthwhile. I do, but I cannot do it alone :-)

A really good example would be converting chan_sip to this model...

Declare

struct sip_flags {
   int alreadygone:1;
   int needdestroy:1;
   int novideo:1;
   ...
}

struct sip_peer {
   ...
   struct sip_flags flags;
};

I suspect much of the code in chan_sip that deals with these flags would 
be much less cumbersome and easier to read using this model.
