Do you mean that 4K VICs 95, 94, 93, 98 defined in CEA-861-F are not
used at all for non-3d video in HDMI 2.0?

Chapter 10.1 of HDMI2.0 spec says clearly:

It contradicts your statement, or am I missing something?

Maybe I have misread your statement:

I do not know what it could mean other that allowing sending VICs
unknown to sink?

Maybe better would be just to wait for the patch to avoid misunderstandings.
