Is there no loop device in the new 3.12.5 kernel by default? I was just trying to mount a filesystem via realcrypt and kept getting errors about unable to setup the loop device.
After some poking around with google searches I found some other folks with the same error claiming that the kernel no longer loads the loop module by default.
I added a /etc/modules-load.d/loop.conf file and rebooted and was able to use realcrypt again, but having a non-functional loop by default seems like a bug to me :-).

3.12 kernel? Something to bring up on the "testing" mailing list?

Nope. I got updates just recently and it installed 3.12.5-200.fc19.x86_64. I don't have the testing repo enabled.
Yeah, that just happened to me. ooopss... :-)

[joe@khorlia ~]$ uname -r 3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE
Checking, I have no testing repos active. I updated my system earlier today, and there was a kernel update, so no, it's not something for the "testing" mailing list, although it certainly would have been yesterday.

I vaguely recall it being mentioned during early early testing, but I'm not finding a feature page for it.

FWIW, I just did the update and then
mount f20.dvd -w -t iso9660 -o loop /mnt/iso
and it mounted just fine without the addition of a /etc/modules-load.d/loop.conf
