No, T5.4 was still firmly headed by Howard. He created the first T5.4 branch over three years (see for example http://tapestryjava.blogspot.com/2012/10/zeroing-in-on-tapestry-54.html) and you can see the results of his mastermind everywhere in the T5.4 code. I guess you could say it was the first release not finished by Howard.
