Depends on what you mean by "Year 2000 compliant". All versions of OnLine are "Year 2000 compliant" in that they do not store years as 2 digits. What you get in 7.20 is support for DBCENTURY. If Informix is recommending certain versions >7.20, it's probably because of bugs in the way DBCENTURY works or interprets certain dates (I seem to recall a bug with Feb.29, 2000, and whether it was accepted as a leap year or not).
