1) There's nothing wrong with Pawno. It works well on modern systems, thus leaving me to conclude that you are doing something wrong.
2) GameMP is the only site, as it is owned and controlled by SA-MP itself. I think that should answer all your questions about it.
3) Nobody knows. For all we know, Kalcor could already have stopped working on it. The other extreme would be that the next version will be released tomorrow. We are not obligated to anything here, thus we can only hope Kalcor will continue.
To answer your question regarding why users should patch some hacks. Some would call it lazyness from Kalcor's end, but from my understanding it could be something else. When an 'official' anti hack/cheat/etc. is added to the client, it doesn't take long for someone to find a way to either avoid or exploit it. The ones who release the cheat software will all target this official anti-cheat, thus resulting in an useless anti cheat for the next couple of months. After that a new update is released and the cycle starts anew. When the users make their own variation on a scripted anti-cheat, however, it becomes way harder to break, due to each of them worming slightly different. Furthermore, would an exploit be found, it can be patched in a matter of days instead of months.
