Leo,
I don't know why it hasn't been updated, probably the maintainer
hasn't gotten around to it yet, but there has been a bug filed about
it:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/218184
For the reasons you state, I agree it would be bad to have to wait
around until F9 to get gnutls updated. I have been having problems
with gnutls-1.4.5, not with POP, but with outgoing SMTP traffic to my
university's SMTP server with Emacs/Gnus.
