I need to spend some more time thinking about this, but I can ask what made you 
decide to look at this?

Changing the  field name from _flag_ -> _flags_ then becomes a bit confusing as 
for example its usage in initCEN and the name of CENFLG.  The field is also 
used via ZipInputStream (not via ZipEntry but  _flag_). So some thought needs 
to be given to the naming 

Similar comment for  ZipFileSystem as if we move forward, then we need to be 
consistent in naming otherwise it becomes (or can be) confusing for future 
maintainers.

Also the Zip Spec refers to the field as "general purpose bit flag" and the  
zlib repository includes a minzip, which also references this field as _flag_  
which might be another reason to keep the field name as is regardless of it 
moving to XEntry
