Completely ridiculous Pokerstars new disconnect policy

[Popinjay]

Playing a HU SNG non-turbo on stars right now. My opponent disconnects... sweet free money. So yadda yadda he times out, they give him extra time as usual for the disc. Then he finally folds his hand and I'm expecting for him to be sitting out, where I can then just raise every hand and win in like 7 min. Instead, for some reason they've changed this policy.

Now it says he's disconnected where his chip count would be. But it doesn't auto-fold him. Now it takes the regular 25~ seconds for him to time out on every hand. This is EXCRUCIATING long... and the worst part is I can't leave since I have to raise the hands. Even worse is he could still come back in the freaking 30 minutes this is going to take.
