as i said in reply to reimar, the flags need a clear definition first.
so what is this patch about?
we havent defined what the flags mean, how can any decoder set them if there
is no clear definition.

what you say makes no sense.
i think you need to read the existing code and need to use clear language
"this problem" and the like without ever making any attempt at explaining what
that would be is rather useless.
and repeat_pict refers to outputed pictures, they by definition cannot be
first-field-only so that case cannot be needed
