I would vote against direct use of GFac API from clients. We need to brainstorm 
and decide on the component level API's and their implications once we discuss 
Airavata 1.0( may be also 2.0) roadmaps. 

In short, I see the need for GFac API's to evolve to facilitate more dynamism 
and multi-phased interactions between workflow interpreter and GFac. I think we 
should limit all client integrations to Airavata API so we can put in extra 
effort to ensure backward compatibility is maintained within major versions.
