Any coded procedure is on the cycle. If it isnt updated, it cannot be used. All coded procedures go through the navdatabase provider, they are not sent to the individual airline for upload. The code has identifiers per aircraft, and will not load to a different aircraft
The EO procedures are coded as part of the procedure, ie the EO missed is coded with the Approach procedure, just the same as the missed, it is not separate.
The EO DEP are the same, coded with the DEP.
All procedures are monitored daily for NOTAM, additional obstacles, and error checked each cycle before sent out by the provider. This is a costly struggle to maintain the integrity on the cycle, and there are many differences between the numerous navdatabases to account for.
As terpster stated, there are virtually always turns with an EO procedure, with bank altitude and bank angle limits to account for the degradation in a turn. In the video linked by Terpster, it was rather interesting to note the EO procedure at Slat Lake City. I find it very difficult to believe that a twin could make that turn EO.
