Did the WMF take that official stance? Where, if I missed it? The specific number/value I don't believe can be even copyrighted in the United States.
Keep in mind that the hex/number itself is now notable.
I was under the impression that the process by which the "Foundation [asks] us to remove it on sight" is a WP:OFFICE action. There certainly doesn't seem to be one listed on [[WP:OFFICE]]; and nobody has claimed there is one; I must conclude that the Foundation has not asked us to remove it on sight.
It's entirely possible, of course, that someone at the Foundation made an informal request to remove an article. Obeying such requests, I would suggest, is a bad idea.
