I disagree. On the 727, I used to initiate the takeoff roll with aileron into any significant(my estimation) wind and maintained aileron into wind throughout the roll(although it would back off somewhat as speed increased). Aileron was maintained into wind throughout the rotation as I didn't want a wing to drop during the rotation when they are closer to the ground. Worked well.
