That change works on the dataset. However I was referring to the 
db/object api (which I have no real knowledge of) that it should be able 
to get_by_uuid unmigrated instances and in my case I got the traceback

Oh yes, we want that restriction, but a way around it for instances that 
may be stuck or just testing purposes could be useful.
