From @ycombinator: Trying to get 2008 codes will return 2007, or trying to get 2013 codes will return 2012, with a helpful (?) warning that NAICS codes don't actually exist for the requested year.

My comment: feature usefulness might depend on actual behavior. The hypothesis is that most people who use NAICS just know what years are available, and will not bother looking for a 2013 code.

Going to close this as "won't fix." Pretending that 2013 codes exist won't help anyone... users should be specific about what years they want to draw from.
