I am not sure if this is new to iOS 8, but I remember that iCloud backups do include attachments in Messages, but now it doesnt.
Im a digital packrat and I like the fact that I have every single message and attachment since 2008, and my Messages take up 900MB which is okay to me since my phone now has 64GB of storage.
Itd be great if someone could confirm my suspicion and/or let me know if theres anyway to back up everything to iCloud. I signed up for more iCloud space and it sucks that I would need to rely on syncing my phone with my really old Mac.
