Exactly if you inject them as a type 1 you will increment hop count Type 2's
do not. Type 2's are default though. The point of the note is that redist
connected to get them into your IGP is not the best way to do it.

Who said they must be Type2?
Router(config-router)#red stat subn metric-type ?
1 Set OSPF External Type 1 metrics
2 Set OSPF External Type 2 metrics
(Same applies to "connected")
We actively using it in few networks, though carefuly done through the
route-maps. Works fine. As well, it helps keeping unnecessary routing
information out of Stub areas.
