I propose that Nether fortresses spawn with zombie pigmen spawners throughout, but there's a catch. When zombie pigmen are on netherbrick they become hostile. This way at least it will be difficult to explore a Nether fortress, instead of wandering through the completely mobless passages without threats.
This could set the fortresses up for a more important role. They could hold treasure chests that have unique items in them. Exactly what items is up for discussion, but there should be unique items that you can only find in Nether strongholds that would make it worthwhile to explore them. Otherwise they are just a waste of space.
i believe they are gonna have a use in future updates besides just scenery but i think it would be cool if mobs would fortify it and make it so you have to siege the castle to get whats inside some hidden chests and such

I think there is a problem as to- why do the nether fortresses exist? I mean besides just being something to find in the nether? It is like a question of why many things exist in the game, and why are there zombies everywhere but no people? Was there a zombie apocolypse?
If there was some sort of narrative behind the game it would make sense for there to be empty nether fortresses or heavily guarded fortresses on the other hand. Maybe there could be hostile regular pigmen on the inside of the fortress holding the zombies and ghasts at bay. Could be anything. Or maybe the regular pigmen could be neutral and the zombies be hostile. This would make the fortresses a safe haven in a much more dangerous nether (with zombies everywhere).
My thoughts would be to increase the difficulty of traversing the Nether stronghold and have netherchests that have rare chances for enchanted weapons, and for some reason I'm picturing rune tablets being in them. There would be different types of rune tablets.
My main issue is what the tablets would be used for. It would cool to have a rune block, but a decent use escapes me.
Another thing they could include is the 11th music disk.
They could be creative and expand the lore aspect. We could get items from the strongholds that would make it possible to travel to a skylands dimension. This is what I had in mind originally for a goal for Minecraft. I think it would make a decent excuse to add the dimension.
I wont go into great detail, because most people know what this dimension is, and it has its own thread.

Some people like to play Minecraft in vanilla.
If you want me to respond, quote my post.
Posting "There is a mod for that" is a warnable offence

I would love this if they made it work.
