MC-216205Stronghold "windows" are now pointless
Prior to this snapshot, the iron bar "windows" in stronghold portal rooms had the potential to point out into caves or the ocean. However, as strongholds are now programmed to be always fully encased in stone, these windows are now incapable of actually acting as windows in their natural state and should probably be removed.

No, this is not a feature request.
The new rule to have it always encased in stone is specifically mentioned in changelogs and there is nothing contradicting it, therefore it's safe to say it's a very intentional change. Prior to Caves & Cliffs Part II, it acting as a window was purely based on chance, so this really is a feature request.
