So what?  You are able to reference the location directly by the variable name 
in the code. Even so, it will always be placed immediately after the interrupt 
vectors, so you always know where it is for a particular CPU.  Since you will 
need to recompile the code for any new CPU (trust me), your argument is a 
non-issue.

BTW, offset_of(.vectors) is 0 for all AVRs. 

For example, for my ATmega2560, I know that the variable is *always* at 0xE4.
