However... if you are playing a natural 1♦ opening, you don't need it {it being reverse flannery by responder} and you shouldn't use it because there are definitely better things you can do with the 2♥/♠ responses.

This viewpoint is losing popularity.

Why is this? What do you do with your WJS or SJS type of hands?

If you you 1D-2M as some Flannery or reverse Flannery hand type, then one possibility is to use

- 1D:2D as "Multi" wjs handtype in an undisclosed major, followed by developed akin to 2D Multi opener, and
- give up inverted minors
- in this case, 1D-2C becomes a multipurpose invitational+ hand without majors, with or without diamond support, which might (or not) be the start of a relay sequence

There are tradeoffs too, in choosing such a scheme, I guess one should choose base on own taste
