Why not just add the following line to your `.exrc' file?
   map Y y$

From now on, Y will yank to end of line.

Please don't flame on any of the following points:
   (1) I know he was complaining about the lack of orthogonality in the
       defaults,
   (2) I know that .exrc might be a Berkeleyism, and
   (3) I understand the arguments about changes to the defaults [you have to
       redo them when you move, you forget its non-standard when helping
       someone else, etc]
Other flames welcome (sorta...).
