A few:
- the newer drivers were consistently slower than the one we ship in
benchmarks (a few years ago, haven't checked lately)
- GeoServer needs also to work with older versions of PostgreSQL, not clear
what the newer drivers support

I believe the driver version was made configurable on geotools trunk, but I
believe the default version
remained the same, have a look at the geotools-devel mailing list archives,
there is some discussion there

Cheers
Andrea
