3♣ - 3♥ !?!?

One of my meta agreement standards is that a passed hand can only make a forcing bid in a suit where one of the opponents are known to have at least 5.

What ever happened to 4♣ or 4♦ over 3♣ to announce diamond hands? I don't think forcing is the right word, but I would say typically it is a 1534 hand, that is, it is natural and can be passed with diamond tolerance.
