In large part, not really since it's rank based instead of TCMA family tree based. At the school I was at (which is the same one Wook is at now), it's still rank based, but there's a little deference given to people who are recognized as "old timers" as it were, regardless of stripes on the belts.
You hear the term "sifu" all the time, but again that's a "position" that can be awarded & removed within schools at a certain level of rank & accomplishment. Not the old, "one school, one sifu". But to mitigate my statement, as with any MA, there are those who deserve the title and would have in ANY MA they chose to practice. There are those you look at going "WTF??".
But the traditional layout, not so much that I've encountered.
