The same amount of people would probably die even if a warning were issued. The results of a non-event after an evacuation would cause people not to believe the government anymore and that could be really bad for people that might get caught up in smaller disasters, not to mention the law suites that would ensue. If one wants to escape these disasters best to move far away. Worry and panic only make things worse. Besides the last I heard was the elevation around the caldera has receded in the past few years. I've been there and would not let the volcano keep me from going back.

I don't thin that's entirely true. I agree a government would not invoke unnecessary panic, but I do think yours and my government would issue a warning if they could.
The trouble is super-volcanoes are kind of hard to predict. I can hardly remember the last one.
