The user could (optionally) specify this threshold when requesting data. 
This way one could avoid bad tracks when enough good ones available and 
fall back on the bad ones when there's no alternative.

Alternatively a request would still return all Tracks but each track is 
returned along with it's quality level so that the editors can blank out 
  certain levels on demand.

I believe that somewhere in the distant future when data maintenance 
becomes more important than data creation the track handling will 
improve dramatically.
