Quote - I don't see how it could really have any real effect on dynamic cloth.  Perhaps weight mapping will allow better bending in the crunch zones of some joints, making it less likely that dynamic cloth would become trapped in a crease, creating simulation difficulties.    Otherwise, I wouldn't expect much difference in dynamic cloth from a change to the joint handling of figures.

It could, in that you could have a vertex map that controls how flexible part of a piece of cloth is, but currently vertex maps are only used for bone deformations, whether bending or bulge settings, or bone scaling.
