Status in Ubuntu Manual: Fix Committed

Bug description:
Rev. 788
Ch. 1, § "Require my password to login, p. 19 (PDF p. 21)
Type: rewording suggestion

Manual has:
This is a good option for those that, for example, share their computer with other family members.

Since "those" refers to people, "who" could be used instead of "that":
This is a good option for those who, for example, share their computer with other family members.

I have no objection to this being marked "Won't Fix" since there isn't anything *wrong* with the current wording, but I think "who" flows better and is more specific for translation and readers with second-language English.
