Red Hat stopped offering updates for RH 7.3 and 8.0 since the end of
the year. The kernels for RH9/8.0/7.3 were kept in sync for some time,
so it is easy to build the kernels for 8.0 and 7.3 out of RH9'
sources.

So 2.4.20-30.7 is the kernel Red Hat would have published, if RH7.3
would not have been past EOL. As such it does not contain any XFS,
lm_sensors etc. patches as the 'at' series does.

For XFS on Red Hat 7.3 you want 2.4.20-30_37.rh7.3.at.
