It's out of fashion at the moment; a "rule" to be broken if your story calls for it, and if you can pull it off. I've just dealt with critique comments on a client's story done in omni where the critter complained of tight POV viewpoint shifts...when it was more what you were describing. The writer in question had used omni instinctively: it was done in past tense and the story of someone who had ascended to a demigod status by the end of the piece. Omni made sense.
