No peristence through disconnect?

My players started reporting that food buffs don't persist when they get disconnected. I'm pretty sure this isn't a bug, considering there doesn't seem to be a reference to buff durations in the data files - but is this something that can be added?

For those of us running expensive cooking recipe setups it is a real downer when you get a flyhack, timeout, or high ping type of disconnect and lose hours of ingredient farming for the big buff you had been saving up for.
