Description

Today we got bitten by the fact that setting config.linkerd.io/skip-outbound-ports overrides the default list of skipped ports. While the proxy configuration docs do mention it (see below), I think it would be nice to specifically highlight this caveat. This might include referencing the default list of skipped outbound ports, so it can be reflected in a custom configuration.

This is useful for **overriding** the default configurations of auto-injected proxies.

Research direction

Start with the linked proxy configuration documentation and locate the section describing config.linkerd.io/skip-outbound-ports. Update the page to highlight that setting it overrides the defaults, and reference the default skipped outbound ports so users can preserve them in custom configurations.
