If you want to use proper typing then I like:

public interface Netconf {
     NetconfVersion getVersion();
}

public interface Netconf10 extends Netconf {
     void methodA();
}

public interface Netconf11 extends Netconf {
     void methodB();
}

Having methods that should not be there and that throws an exception
is not good IMHO.
