"Play" in flight controls.

Hi,

I'm flying a medium turboprop, and have twice written a remark in the technical log about "play" in the flight controls. It's in both pitch and roll, and when flying level at 200+ KIAS the yoke can be moved at least 5 mm fore and aft without any reaction at all from the aircraft. The yokes can also be moved independently of each other. The answer from the technical department is, that there is some loose rivets in the controls, and they have to be replaced with larger ones, but not until the end of the year.
What says the wise people of pprune? -Does it seem reasonable?

Cheers :-)
