How about this for a reply:
We are on target for integrating IRIX 6.5 into Athena, and by the end of
the summer we expect people will be able to upgrade to the version 8.3
release of Athena which will be based on it.
Also, as a contingency plan, and for sites unable to upgrade to Athena
8.3, we are investigating the SGI Y2K patches for IRIX 6.3 on the O2
platform and for IRIX 6.2 on the Indy platform.
In direct answer to your query, Y2K compliance will be automatic with
the approprate Athena software upgrade. But that upgrade is not
expected to be available until the end of the Summer.
