as I read in #955 you do not maintain mysql-router. unfortunately the mysql version https://hub.docker.com/r/mysql/mysql-router is rather outdated. it'd be useful to either add a separate mysql-router to the library or even better to include in this container the router too. since you already add the tools repo for the dockerfile (for the mysql-shell you can also install the mysql-router from the same place. it's only a 4MB extra space compared to the current container size 160MB (from which the shell is 44MB) is nothing and would be very useful for many.

If I'm understanding correctly, MySQL Router is effectively a separate (companion) product, right? Also, usage of it is optional, and only for a pretty narrow set of use cases?

(It's effectively impossible for users to remove it if we include it by default, but as you say, it should be pretty easy for users who want/need it to install it themselves. :innocent:)

it's as separate as mysql-shell which is also included, and it's effectively impossible for users to remove it as mysql-shell. everybody who create and use mysql in a cluster (which is an option in mysql 8.x) must have to use it. whether it's narrow or wide it's a relative...

The difference there is that MySQL Shell is intended to be the MySQL client (and intended to replace mysql(1) itself), so eventually we'll probably even have to update all our wrapper scripts to use it instead.
