(He’s the godfather of RSS/podcasting, an Internet veteran and one of the smartest thinkers on the future of communication and the web that I know of).

This is a big deal. It telegraphs acceptance by the Old Guard.

Agreed this is a big win for Tumblr, although, not sure I like the term Old Guard here.  ’Old Guard’ connotates an unwillingness to accept new ideas - and Winer is a pioneer, who just happens to be older than your average digerati.
