Guessed right  Indeciso .

Tearing works by storing and modifying a half-edge structure. This requires the cloth mesh to be 2-manifold (since half-edges cannot represent most non-manifold meshes), however proxies can work with arbitrary meshes, including non-manifold.

Adding tearing support for proxies would require to drop proxy support for non-manifold meshes. Proxies are the only way to deal with non-manifold meshes and that's something I don't want to lose!
