I have issue with it. I don't have enough cards.
I'd XX with about any 5 card clubs or KJxx and better. Assuming partner has xx in clubs and invitation, 2CXX seems pretty good contract.

Some people have agreement on what 2M, Pass, and XX are. 2NT is NEVER an option without consulting partner!
Mine are that whenever I have a 4-card major, I bid it because "partner asked, I tell". Whenever I don't have a 4-card major, I pass unless my clubs are 5-cards long or an excellent 4-card suit, in which case I Rdbl. Rdbl encourages partner to leave it in with Hx or better in clubs and normal responding values, or finish it up with a bid if he had garbage stayman.
Not saying this is best or standard or universal or anything, just that this is my agreement with at least two partners with whom 1NT is 15-17. If 1NT is 12-14, I haven't thought about what is best and in fact, have to make an agreement ASAP

I am willing to XX with 4 clubs if they are KQxx/KJTx or better, but I am sure there are quite a few people who wait for five (or at least require KQTx to have an expectation of 3 club winners rather than just 2 certain ones plus prospects for more.)
