I think they may have a mess of a system behind the scenes, they do like adding coins weekly, and threatening to remove some. I agree with the sentiment, they'd rather add a bunch of new coins, than help existing ones.
The system is far from a mess; it was designed with integrity and auditability in mind. A design decision was made early to make symbols immutable because they are suppose to be. Which means we have to do hours of work to ensure all security and integrity checks passes before we can turn anything back on. As I explained to a couple people that have asked, it has become too costly to do this type of work just to delist a coin a couple weeks later. If interest in the coin picks up and it stops getting flagged weekly due to low volume, I'd be more inclined to revisit this.

Hello Richie,
I apologize for speaking in haste about Bittrex, and thank you for filling us in. I was talking with another more tech-minded person on our DEV team and he said the same. My mouth gets ahead of me sometimes
