Mumble... actually I don't know why but I'm able to log in in V4 (using
the "legacy" handle") and V5

ehrm, ehrm: actually I never used gandi.cli and I'm testing it in my
spare time

1. the legacy "gandi domain list" just lists the domanins of my "legacy"
v4 handle

2. "gandi dns domain.list" (the v5 equivalent) gives an empty list

3. curl -H "Authorization: Apikey $GANDI_APIKEY" 
https://api.gandi.net/v5/domain/domains
gives me the complete list (that means the domains in all the organizations I'm 
part of)

gandi.cli needs more love:

1. https://github.com/Gandi/gandi.cli/issues/279
Unable to manage domains migrated to Gandi-V5

2. https://github.com/Gandi/gandi.cli/issues/288 (Order domain name via API V5)

and probably also the API:

1. https://github.com/Gandi/gandi.cli/issues/285
dns update command reports "Remote API service is unreachable"

that bugs are still open, they made some commits since the 1.5 release
but AFAIU by a quick look at the code that ploblems are still open (and
probably upgrading gandi.cli to a newer commit won't enhance the
situation)

Ciao, Gio'
