The 1.6.1 DVD fix removed the USE of the loose predicate but left the
predicate sitting there with the better name. Anyone asking "is this sector
scrambled?" finds is_scrambled before is_scrambled_pack, and reintroduces the
defect that destroyed 1912 bytes of a real VIDEO_TS.IFO — the sector carrying
TT_SRPT — so the disc enumerated 38 titles and an image decrypted from it
enumerated 10, silently, at exit 0.
Byte 0x14 only means "scrambling control" inside an MPEG-2 pack. In an IFO,
UDF or ISO 9660 sector it is whatever that format stores there. The new name
says what the function actually tests and nothing more, so the honest question
has the obvious name and the dangerous one has to be asked for deliberately.
Its doc comment also claimed a caller, decrypt::decrypt_sectors, that does not
exist — so the name was an invitation and the documentation was an argument
for accepting it. It has no production callers at all; it stays public because
an integration test asserts the flag extraction directly.
