It's just a branching thing. The 2013 and 2016 editions are the same
as the 2008 standard, but have fixes for some of the errata. Think of
the 2008 standard being "POSIX 7.0" and the 2013 and 2016 editions
being 7.1 and 7.2, respectively.

In the meantime, the POSIX folks are working on the 8th version of the
standard. This is where some of the larger changes/additions may be
done.
