Yes, I know how the application should behave in case the calibration level
goes below 1.0. I have been working on exactly that functionality recently;
that's why I am interested in the reading value.

The reason why I am wondering about the behaviour is that it is quite
different compared to what it used to be on MeeGo/Nokia N9. On N9, the
calibration level went below 1.0 quite often, could be once in a couple of
days or so. Now, in Sailfish/Jolla, I have never seen a value below 1.0. It
is of course good if it is true but the different behaviour compared to
MeeGo made me think there might be a bug either in my code (more likely) or
in Qt code/SailfishOS sensor drivers (less likely).

Anyway, thanks for you comments.
