I know we're in string freeze, don't worry. It could be added later.
Anyway, what does it mean "the spirit of plasma"? Even with the scrollbar the folderview will continue to act like a widget which is exactly a file browser, his own purpose.

The purpose of the folder view is to allow the user to browse a specific directory. We have two possibility:
1) show all it's contents without interesting if it is readable (small icons could equals less readability for a lot of users)
2) show even partially the content, but with a size that will be readable by users.

I understand that "usually" plasmoid resize themself and their contents, but this should be done conscientiously.

Now, waiting for the 4.1, we can even keep the folder view as it is. For next release I suggest to let users choose they prefer.
