Well "you" is also Germanish, ond whilst it is often thought that it was made after "thou", it was not - both were always there at the same time. "Thou" was mainly for someone that you knew, whilst "you" was mainly for someone that you knew not. I do think though that you are right; we should keep "thou" as well - it is not dead yet - still here in English right now (sometimes spelled as "tha") - ond I would love to keep it here. I would hate for it to die off.
