I bet that if you look at the definition of GIB's 3NT, it includes "5-H".

GIB already has the key najor suit support-with-support tool, namely Jacoby 2NT.

So why not support with support? Bidding 1S in response holding a known 10 card heart fit is asking for trouble.

I would not like to be in guess mode when the opponent bid 4 or 5 clubs without knowledge of the massive heart fit opposite.

Please update GIB to use its support-with-support tools. Just raise hearts or employ Jacoby or splinter as standard technique when a 9 card or bigger fit is known.
