Is this what a 2C opener looks like these days...? Oh my :)

North can't Pass 1S IMO.

Interesting, I would agree when playing with a partner whose opening bids are sound, respond 1NT.  But with a partner who opens any trashy 11 count (there seem to be many), would you feel the same?

I wouldn't be bothered about the possibility that opener is subminimal. OK, he might go down in 2♠ but then maybe opps are cold for 3NT, so even 2♠x-3 is fine at this vuln. Lots of good things could happen if p is weak, like we making 2♣/♦/♥ when 1♠ would be down and opps could be making 1NT.

More worrying is if p rebids 3♠ or 4♠ and he has diamond shortness.

But I think if you respond with (almost) all 6-counts you have to respond with this hand too.

For me the obvious start is 1♠-1NT-... This is no 2♣ opening (even 2NT might be better) and passing 1♠ is criminal since you might have a ♥ fit and easy game.
