Hi Guillem,
I would change the text around a little to add that to the beginning of
the paragraph, something like:
On GNU/Hurd systems the <file>/hurd</file> and
<file>/servers</file> directories are also allowed in the root
filesystem. <footnote>These directories are used to store
translators and as a set of standard names for mount points
respectively.</footnote>
Ordering the words in this way means the reader can decide it's
applicability much faster. Perhaps splitting the footnote into two
footnotes might help also:
... <file>/hurd</file><footnote>Used to store
translators.</footnote> and <file>/servers</file><footnote>Used
as a set of standard names for mount points.</footnote> ...

It might, although I think starting the paragraph with "On GNU/Hurd ..."
might make it clearer when it stands on it's own.
Regards,
Andrew McMillan.
