QSBS Questions. A lot of them.

I tried searching for similar posts but couldn't find any answers.
1. Is it possible to structure any deal to comply with the requisites of QSBS, i.e., the prerequisites are that of the acquiring Co, or, QSBS compliance depends on characteristics of the acquired Co?
2. If the first, can you structure the deal as an asset sale where the acquiring Co is a C-corp, who then issues shares to the pass-through entity or individual?
3. If so, what are the pros/cons of doing that, as opposed to an asset sale directly into an LLC?
4. Do we have visibility around QSBS in the current tax policy discussions?
Sorry if the questions don't make much sense. I'm trying to wrap my head around how does this whole thing work.
Cheers!
