Bittrex told the Bitshares devs they had a problem with their node, which is why they decided to delist... rather than, you know, letting the devs know they were having a problem. The problem was then fixed by the Bitshares devs in a matter hours with a small patch.
Whether or not they go through with the delisting remains to be seen.
So nothing new since our last chat on this.... le sigh.
