Thanks Josh. That's useful to know about. I have one of the situations that 
the README describes - I have some kit at Rackspace, and some on a 
dedicated server elsewhere. At the moment, I store all the inventory files 
in a directory, inventories. When I run a playbook I provide the directory 
as the location of the inventory, rather than the specific inventory file. 
for e.g. ansible-playbook deploy.yml -i ./inventories/. Can you help me 
understand how AQ assists further on top of that ability? It's not 
immediately apparent to me and I don't want to miss something really useful!
