vSphere 6.0 & SPBM Integration - Design Question

What is new for Storage DRS in vSphere 6.0?

"Up next the integration with Storage Policy Based Management. In the past when you had different tiers of datastores as part of the same Datastore Cluster then SDRS could potentially move a VM which was assigned policy “gold” to a datastore which was associated with a “silver” policy. With vSphere 6.0, SDRS is aware of storage policies in SPBM and will only move or place VMs to a datastore that can satisfy that VM’s storage policy."

How are people designing their datastore clusters with this new SPBM integration in mind? Are people keeping different tiers of datastores within the same datastore cluster now? If not, why?
