Takeoff with light quartering tailwind

The description of the condition is "light ......" therefore, why bother
about aileron setting ? Once the relative tailwind component is overcome, the take-off will be like any other EXCEPT it will be a longer roll.

If it were a strong tailwind quartering component, I will invariably
elect to taxi to the other end of the RW and take off into a quartering headwind component.
