No, it's just a figure of speech. A bit like the idiom "I needed this like a hole in the head". Meaning that "need == 0".

Actually, it's a rhetorical way of saying "need < 0," as is clear from the hole in the head analogy.

The point is that the project needs, to some extent, not to have this hassle.
