And even in the ACBL, I'm not sure this case would have required a
post-alert. For a while there was a rule that all ace-asking
conventions required a post-alert (people would just say "there's been
an ace-asking auction"), but now it's only required for unusual forms
(e.g. kickback, minorwood). Gerber is considered common enough that it
doesn't require any alert.
