Of course, I respect that. I was mostly curious about the original vision of (surface exposed) Strongholds. Were they created with dimension travel in mind from the start? The magical blue portal textures in B1.9 pre3 made me wonder if this was originally a way to get to the Sky in B1.7 development.

I do not remember that portal-looking block so I can't say anything about its purpose.
No, the surface stronghold was just a happy accident, but back then I didn't have any reliable tools to detect the surface of the world. So the strongholds ended up far beneath the ground, to avoid being in oceans and similar. (Surface-detection was added for the end cities, much later.)
