Previously there was no way to do a 'dry run' against a set of inventory configuration files without actually writing the full inventory structure to disk. This change adds a simple check flag to the script, allowing users to pre-validate their configurations prior to executing the Ansible playbooks. No syntax validation happens against the YAML files; rather, the dynamic_inventory.py script is executed and builds a full inventory in memory, but does not write any output. Currently, this is meant as a starting point. Further validation can build from here, but the flag is largely meant to check for known exceptions/errors early.
