You mean, like the way that Mitsugi Saotome has because his etiquette is different than that practiced by Morihei Ueshiba?
FWIW, I'm not an Iwama guy (although I've trained there), and I'm perfectly fine with the thought that what Saotome is doing is Aikido. But if if changing the etiquette means that you're not practicing Aikido then he isn't. And neither is almost all Aikido today.
