This is the date for Desktop image for 64-bit ARM (ARMv8/AArch64) computers, not for Desktop image for 64-bit PC (AMD64)

This seems be the 'pending' image, not rhe current that should be:
Latest images to have passed any automatic testing; try this first

So I may redefine the problem: Latest image to have passed any automatic testing for Ubuntu 21.04 64-bit PC (AMD64) is dated 2021-01-23 08:36 and can be found in https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
Following images are not tested.

Ubuntu 21.04 has not been released yet, release date is 2021-04-22
What you are in reference to is the daily test builds.
The current daily build for testing purposes only is 2021-03-09 08:32 for AMD 64. [Daily live current build]
Download of this has bugs in the oversized OS. That is for QA Testing until the final release.
I am on the QA Test Team for Ubuntu.
Ubuntu 21.02 was released 2021-02-28 and has no bugs.

Until mid-January for Ubuntu 21.04 and for all preceding releases in development the 'current' ISO was following the 'pending' after 2-5 days and this new behavior seems strange to me.
I am now working with a system installed from Ubuntu 21.04 "Hirsute Hippo" - Alpha amd64 (20210228) and daily updated and it works fine.

This is the standard procedure for Development and QA Testing that is accomplished for each new version of Ubuntu.
If your questions have been answered. Please mark as solved.
Thank You.

@Bernard:

Does the standard procedure for development and testing really specify different handling for the supported CPU architectures?

Why has the arm64 iso installer file been put into "current" immediately, but not the amd64 one?

Ubuntu 21.02 was released 2021-02-28 and has no bugs.
but there is no 'current' (tested) ISO for AMD 64 after that date?

@Manfred Testing is encouraged to have all of those different architectures of CPUs that is possible to have during testing.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Overview/TheStages
@Manfred Ubuntu Base arm64 is less complicated
This testcase is intended to confirm the base chroot tarball is in proper working order.
The amd64 has the full Ubuntu OS and is due for final release 2021-04-22
We just had our feature-freeze on 2021-02-25
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures Testing Procedures if anyone is interested to join in. Ubuntu 1 login.

@corrado As per your request I am downloading the new [Daily Build] QA Testing image for amd64 and will test it.

Bernard, if you say that there is a daily build, why is the amd64 iso in https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ not from today but from 2021-01-23? That is six weeks ago!
