Into wind for run-ups?

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the debate on whether to lean the mixture on the ground; I was amazed at the amount of posts which said to me that the basics aren't being taught at some schools. Now a question on another practice which is being taught differently depending on the training provider...

I was taught that parking into wind for the engine run-ups wasn't necessary and there was no discernable benefit. At other organisations I have flown at, even at the same GAAP, parking into wind was a rule which is written in stone. What were you taught?
