Abstract: three minor language edits
The difference between `that` and `which` is not strictly required, but it helps clarify the difference in meaning, which is important in science and software :). This is best shown by an example: * Maneage provides reproducibility, which is a good thing. The sentence would make sense if we drop `, which is a good thing.` The last part of the sentence is a comment rather than a necessary part of the sentence. * Maneage provides a quality of reproducibility that is missing from other implementations. The sentence would not quite make sense if we drop `that is ...`, since we would not know what sort of quality is provided. The fact that the quality is missing is key to the intended meaning of the sentence.
