We can't even say that, since POSIX.1e officially unexists.

I have hope that the people working on this will eventually get
together with Nick Stoughton (USENIX standards liaison) and PASC (the
POSIX people) to charter a new .1e effort (which by IEEE rules will
have to be called something else).

The problem with .1e was that its scope was too large, and the group
was unable to come to concensus on some of the interfaces which were
included in that scope.  A new effort, if chartered, would presumably
restrict its scope to just those interfaces on which concensus has
already been achieved.
