Yeah, I figured this is what you guys meant. We're all on the same page here.
As I've said before, it's a bummer when they orphan lines like this, but truly they're NOT orphaned, just orphaned in the same physical format. I mean, it's not like you can't get the rest of Fraction's IM run in HC or tpb, same with Bendis' New Avengers run (heck, you can even still get OHCs for the rest of the run after the omni if you can find them on ebay/etc...)
BUT, I 100% feel folks' pain on this - we all have OCD to some extent when it comes to collecting comics - I think it's a prerequisite to getting into comics - wanting "complete runs" and all that stuff. For some, it's not a huge deal to mix HCs and TPBs on their shelf (ME), and for others, they have a small brain hemorrhage at even the thought of it. But at the end of the day, Marvel is a business, and if they stop making a book in a specific format, then all I could think of is they feel like it's no longer cost effective. OR it's been too much time and they now want to "push" the current writer / character arc instead of the one from years ago...

"Why the hell do you need an arrow that comes back to you after you shoot it, Clint?" - Kate
"Because... Boomerangs." - Clint.
With 2016 nearly over I went and looked in the OP to double check what the 2017 offerings are going to be.
So there is no Jan '17 Marvel Omni release and we aren't yet sure about July onward yet?

I brew the beer you drink. What's your super power?
There is some great stuff coming out next year, most of which I've pre-ordered, but I absolutely cannot believe there are no March Wolverine omni!!!
No Wolverine by Aaron vol.2?
No Wolverine "Classic" vol.2?
No "Death of Wolverine" Omnibus?
They even could've combined the Origin I & II OHC and Prehistory TPB to make a Wolverine: Beginnings Omnibus to match the DP one!
WHAT THE HELL MARVEL!?!
So, it seems they have cancelled the Marvel Masterworks series?
Have they replaced it with anything else?
One team that needs some major coverage especially in the early years is the Defenders.
Issues 1-60/75 of the Defenders need some love!
The Marvel Masterworks Hardcovers have definitely not been cancelled and are still going strong. The Marvel Masterworks Paperbacks, however, have been cancelled and have been indirectly replaced by the Epic Collection paperbacks. If you want more detailed info. on the Epics, click here
Any Difference between the recent Morrison New X- Men omnibus and the reprint from 2012?
Thin paper, Sewn binding on both, right?
