Summary:
I just got an iCloud backup size warning. When I went to check what was using up space, I found that it was the videos I had downloaded into the WWDC app.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the WWDC app.
2. Sign in with a developer account.
3. Download some videos so that you can watch them offline.
4. Attempt to run an iCloud backup.

Expected Results:
The videos can be redownloaded easily, so they should not be included in the iCloud backup.

Actual Results:
The videos contribute to the total size of the iCloud backup. I have several videos downloaded, and in Settings → iCloud → Storage & Backup → Manage Storage → <my iPhone>, I find that the WWDC app is taking up 2 GB of the backup.

Version:
WWDC app 2.1 (354)
iOS 7.1.1 (11D201)

This was fixed server-side by Apple.

I know I can manually exclude the backup, but it should be the default to exclude the videos.
