Intuitively it might make sense to be able to delete vertices of the cloth mesh and such, but many optimizations of the cloth solver/generator are reliant on the internal consistency of its face count over time (notice that even tearing does not change cloth face count), so currently this is not possible, and it probably doesn't make sense to ever try and implement an alternate system...since deleting verts that cause faces to disappear won't look acceptable in renders...for something like an acid dissolve it probably make more sense to drive the effect with an animated texture put in the cloth shader's transparency slot or something.
