Slipping the big jets

The little I know about jets is that slipping them, e.g. during decent, is prohibited. I guess the sweepback wing is more prone to stalling (plus structural limitations come into play).

My question is what happens during heavy cross wind takeoffs? The technique applied there by pilots is slipping, right?
