It's important to understand the distinction between the BOM in a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) release and a VMware Validated Design (VVD) release.
As of VVD 6.0, it includes VCF 4.0. From that point, the BOM in the VVD may extend past the base of VCF. For example, VCF 4.0.0/4.0.1 does not include the specific vRealize Suite product versions since it's not automate/integrated at this time; however, this is in the VVD 6.0.0/6.0.1 BOM. A future release of of VCF may not include specific vRealize Suite management/content packs however the VVD does.
Let's say, for example, that what if the next release of the VVD included vRealize Network Insight 5.3 (vRNI) along with Architecture+Design and Deployment Guidance but it was not a core part of the VCF BOM (yes, it's in the SKU). Then vRNI would be a part of the VVD BOM but not the baseline VCF BOM. Another example is that VVD 6.0.1 includes Red Hat OpenShift WLD A+D and Deployment Guidnance - this is part of the VVD BOM, not the VCF baseline BOM. The point is, that the VVD extends upon the baseline VCF BOM.
Hope this helps.
