Agreed. I just did "About Google Chrome" and saw that a new version was available - 7.0.517.24. Crap! Worried I would lose my cookie settings, I quit and restarted, and saw that they were there safe and sound. Only that option to prompt for each website was gone.

I had tried that option for a while but it didn't work quite right -- for certain websites it would continually prompt, "Accept Cookie?" No. "Accept Cookie?" No. etc.

When I clicked the "more info" part of the prompt, it looked like the website was trying to set a different cookie each time -- one that expires tomorrow, one next month, next year, etc.

So it may be a problem with the website, rather than Chrome. Regardless, the behavior was annoying so I selected "Block" all cookies and went with a whitelist, so this missing option doesn't bother me.
