Guess I should add something about this to the header as well.
Clare is actually the forum representative of the team who is updating the PS4 version and any news about content or dedicated servers will always come through her over in the console news and announcements forum.
Madmole’s standard ambiguous answer is that they hope to bring as much content over to the console as they possibly can at some point.
As far as I know there is no plan to change the online structure but if Clare has announced something different then that is news to me.

As A17 in 2017 dwindles to wishful thinking, we can all look back... or we can look forward. America is great, because most people look forward. What subtle audacity, with all the bumps and bruises life gives us, to look forward with hope. It's what makes mankind worthy of much more.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! You deserve it.

I've been playing with SMX's mod and the expanded backpack that it has, and I do think that others have asked about this already but how bout craftable backpacks to increase storage space?
Something like we start off with the starter backpack, but we can then craft backpacks with extended inventory slots? Could introduce tiers like a leather backpack to provide a small boost to slots and then a military fiber one for a large boost?

Apply as tester at the Fun Pimps. I mean really apply for a serious job.
http://thefunpimps.com/jobs/
No earlyer versions for normal players.
(They dont give such testversions to long known supporter of the game, why should they do it for you ? You need to wait like all others for A17 experimental ...next summer)

While I like the hordes, I can agree with your ask. Can see why some players would want to turn off 7 day hordes. Would seem pretty easy code-wise to implement that option to disable.
If the pimps implement the ability to turn of hordes as an option, would be great if they can further that idea and make hordes random start times as an option.
Hordes starting every 7 days at exactly 10:00pm is just way too easy manage. Making the horde start time random would be great for challenge.
Example horde start time theory: sometime (Even daytime hours) between 00:00 Day 5 and 23:59 Day 8 multiples.
Randomness creates chaos which is more challenging.
Challenging = more folks playing the game for longer before getting bored.

Being a person who loves the game and want to be a beta tester only to play is one thing. The word TESTER is important, its not a game. Not only that, the content must be ready , and I don`t think that Pimps have much for the tester yet. Keep it up, keep being part of us here and who knows .. one day could be your happiest

You don't have to apply for the job. Just wait until the beta option is announced and then test and report. You won't be able to find it yet because it is not available yet. There will be an announcement on these forums as soon as the beta opens for A17 experimental for those who want to test it early.

Vehicles and reality:
Like the Harley Davidson HOG style macho motorcycle and the bicycle. Also like the pre A17 mini-bike. So don't take what is below wrong, please. I am hoping for some realistic considerations by the pimps.
In a realistic apocalypse...roads would degrade quite fast. While there is some hazards(cinder blocks, etc) placed on the roads in 7dtd, realistic the roads would be much worse because pavement buckles, cracks, holes develop over time mainly due to temperature changes. In addition, vegetation would start growing in the cracks. Vegetation growing in pavement also will break up the pavement over time.
In addition, most travel would be off road.
Because of the above reasons, a pavement only style Harley Davidson HOG style motorcycle, a passenger car and even the A16 minibike would not be very useful in a real apocalypse except maybe the first year. These types would get stuck off road and would have great difficulty in handling the rough terrain that would occur after a few years of non-maintened roads in apocalypse.
4x4, and AWD vehicles with aggressive/knobby tires and good springy suspension is what a real human would gravitate towards if available.
My suggestion is at least change the art/skin of the mini-bike and big-bike to include more aggressive knobby tires and at least hinting at some quality suspension where the wheel moves up/down in relation to the frame by showing some springs. Would prefer the physics of the vehicles actually incorporate the suspension and traction concerns mentioned, but understand that is difficult to code. So at least address this issues with art changes.
While the existing mini-bike does have aggressive tread + wide tires appropriate for rough terrain, the mini-bike has zero suspension and any high speeds over rough terrain would render the mini-bike extremely difficult to drive if not out right crash due to rough terrain.
The HOG is even worse, low clearance, looks like all-season tires and again no hints of suspension.
In A16/A15, the mini-bike is too fast(Speed). That looks like a 1HP lawnmower FFS. That would be like 35mph on a downhill slope and struggle up steep terrain.
Lastly, in a real apocalypse I think humans would gravitate towards anything 4x4,AWD truck/suv types, ATV's and quad style side by sides.
I own 2 ATV's with 2up seats, 2 4x4 trucks and an AWD luxury car. I regularly take my family and go off road deep into the rocky mountains mostly on the ATV's cause they are by far the best in rough terrain. I know from real experience the need for 4x4 or AWD, aggressive low-air pressure tires, ground clearance and springy independent wheel suspension when going off road in rough terrain.
