OK.  The previous step had this hunk:

-			parse_trailer(&tok, &val, NULL, trailer, separator_pos);
 			if (!opts->filter || opts->filter(&tok, opts->filter_data)) {
 				if (opts->unfold)
 					unfold_value(&val);

where parse_trailers() already has a call to parse_trailer()
followed by a call to unfold_value(), so in a sense, switching
to use the result of calling parse_trailers() by the caller instead
of duplicating our own parsing in format_trailer_info() that started
at step [09/28] made both parse_trailer() call (removed in step [10/28])
and unfold_value() call (removed in this step [11/28]).

So it would have also made sense if this were done as part of
[10/28], but it is also OK to keep them separated.

In either way, breaking the transition into these steps does make
them easier to follow.
