kext

In Mac computers (running macOS / Mac OS X) and also Hackintosh PCs, “kext” stands for “kernel extension”, meaning the essential drivers the OS, providing essential code to its core as soon as it loads. Software developed with kext privileges can be very powerful apps.

Most kext files within macOS / Mac OS X are located in /System/Library/Extensions by default.

code spaghetti

A less common nearly synonymous expression of "spaghetti code": in programming and computer language, a poorly programmed piece of code, which does barely work, but it's very long and convoluted (like the pasta itself) and thus hard to disentangle and debug. (This variant expression could also refer to the effects of said code.)

The devs removed that feature because it was pure bloat. Nobody really used it and it was causing all kinds of code spaghetti. {This is an adapted snippet from an actual email message!}
